Could anyone help me to ID this?

Defiantly acropora, from the looks of it I would guess acropora florida. Blow the polyps back with a baster and then tank a picture with polyps closed under daylight. Good job with that frag!

Alright! I'll do just that!

Does a black and white picture help? The polpys were blow back three times. It re-emerges before I can fire off a picture. It's green polyp on green skin, when photographed under daylight it's the same.

Definitely an acro. Anyones guess on species but it’s an acro. Sometimes with acros the axial coralites can be more or less defined depending on the health of the coral. Seems like it probably wasn’t the healthiest as a frag but you’ve done a great job growing it out.
I have a red planet and during a bout with Dino’s it lost all polyp extension and the coralites looked very strange. Now it’s back to looking like a normal red planet

Could this be Acropora monticulosa?

The variable directions of growth on the coralites and new nubs are what tell me it’s not one of the species like humilis or Monticulosa which normally grow a little more uniform, but I could be wrong. Florida is generally only green and gets pink tips when really doing well.

Ah.. For some reason I was looking at acropora fomosa. Talk about careless reading. I'll look into a florida.

Thank you very much!

Hi I think I have seen this on eBay listed as Hirsuta Montipora hope that helps, it's looking quite similar to me on my screen

I have hirsuta before. It's a little bit leafy in appearance; this on the other hand is so far digitae.

Also, monti won't have the axial coralite.

Latest development. Under daylight. Seems that axial coralites are rather clustered.

Who knows. This may end up looking corymbose in structure.

That looks pretty close to Acropora florida.

Yea I would put it at 96% likely a Florida. They grow very unique in each tank. Flow and light really affect the growth patterns. Awesome acro!

Thanks a lot. @sculpin01 and @Graffiti Spot !

After googling around. I saw it mentioned in reef builder that its slime contain some neon green pigments. It rang a bell! I did see it slime neon green streaks when I glued it in.
