Frog skin or toxins green slimer

Thanks! But this does not have any raised coralite. In face, it also most have a recessed look.

It's very different from green slimer I have too.

Hmm- I’ll have to get to a regular computer screen. Phone screen not ideal for me

Thank you for helping.

If it helps any, this is how it look like now.

Looks like it could be hydnophora to me in that photo.

I’d lean towards Montipora.

No clear axial corallites, polyps separated rather than bunched (e.g. Porites), tissue (coenosarc) not fluffy or rugose.

The tissue is quite smooth. So probably not hydnophora

Possible a green Pavona acro

I had assume it an acropora right from the start.

But you are right I cannot be sure if there is a clear axial coralite. So maybe this is an isopora?

I'm afraid not. The tissue of the coral is very smooth.

Isoporas are super rare in the hobby, with the exception of the one Diver’s Den cultures. However, that, an oddball Porites, or Montipora would be all possible.

Look up hairy green monster acro

It doesn't look like having an axial coralite though

Could u point me to a type of montipora which may look like this?

I would really love to find out how this will grow out so that I know what to expect.

Sorry but you’re going to need to grow the coral out a bit more to be able to even get to the genus level of identification, never mind species.

There is a hairy green monti which happens to be branching type

Yeah. Oh well. I guess it can't be helped.

Thank you for your help!

Alright! I shall go sleuth around.

An update of a top down photo. It seems that there are distinct axial coralites.

So this should be an acropora?
