Definitely one of my favorite sps in my tank and I'm not much of an sps guy.

I have red planet and it looks like this. Don't think the op picture is a red planet.
The sps above was a faint pink when I first got it and it looks like the picture now.

Do u have a side view pic? It's a sweet piece!

No side view picture. Kind of hard taking pictures through the glass and get it as clear as I do by taking top down pictures. I'll try to tomorrow.

It's a nice one that's for sure!

If you are looking for a species ID then it is most likely A. hyacinthus or A. spicifera.

Thanks Frick. It looks like the hyacinthus to me because of the way its growing. Any idea on the trade name?

Pink Tabling Acropora would be the best trade name IMO. If it does well for you and you seem to get a demand from others for frags of it, then best thing to do is give it you own name if you want something more distinctive.
