I got a NICE pack of Acros today from another site. I have names for most of them but one. I have told this was a Strawberry Shortcake but I feel this is wrong. If anyone has any idea on what this is please let me know.

looks pretty close to a SS, any particular doubts your having? Keep in mind SS's aren't a named coral (as in from one single colony) they're a variety, so there's going to be a lot of small variations between them.
Only ones that are "named" will have a name attached to them, like a tyree (not sure if he has his name on any SS's though) or a Billy Bob's SS or something.
But unless I'm mistaken, SS's are a grouping of similarly colored acro's (someone else will have to provide species, I'm not a good acro species guy) so they're not all going to be identical.

The "strawberry shortcake" is almost always a wild coral or frag. They are starting to show up as captive grown, but keep in mind that's still gen 1 for a captive coral and they have a long way to go before they are a hardy coral. As far as species your frag is too small to tell yet. From what I've heard they do best witha few weeks in med-low light untill they have regular PE then you can move them to higher light and they will color back up. GL with your frags.

all about the diy!!!!!
It's either a shortcake or a shades of fall hard to tell with out the polyps extended... Get a shot with the polyps I would be able to tell better.... As for the shortcakes ya I have 3 different ones lol... The only one that has really nice Color and doing well in captivity I have had for a year I picked up from Ian "reef Oddysey" it's off the hook!!!!
