Tyvm for your time. Acropora? Sales guy at lfs said acropora. I thought it was also, when I got it, but just to check. ..Lights off night time, just camera light on for photo. Just got it today so I expect it to be retracted for like a week or more... Any fyi ya got or tips feel free to share. I know, stable parameters.. ty

Hi. Ty. It is encrusting the frag plug. Pink in color, orange florescence.. pocillopora?
 
Def a pocci. Polyps are retracted but it will get bushy when happy. Good first SPS but be prepared to ditch it once you advance to Acros.

These can and will spread to nuisance level via polyp bail out.
Looks to be loosening up a little. Or getting ready to bail.. I read up on them, they seem pretty hardy. I don't plan on having fish, so it can make a nuisance of itself. I have an acan and flavia that due to accidental handling and first time coral placement trial and err have closed so tight they have spine showing.. maybe it will all look normal in a month.
