Not sure but I like how it grows.

I know kinda neat. All of a sudden it's coloring up and turning into one of the nicer ones in my tank. It's a diamond in the rough piece. LFS had it under LEDs and it looked okay....but under radiums, it really glows.....

Looks like deep water acro

Does not look like afibre coral. I agree with the above. Nice!

Dare I say elegans? Could be a real gem you have there. How long have you had it?

 

[arotbart]

About 2 weeks. I don't think it's a deep water acro. I know from the looks of it, maybe. But the branch structure if very "square" if that is the right way to describe.....I believe it came in from Indonesia. This one was the largest and healthiest looking piece.....I have it midway up and off to side under a 400w radium and t-5s and the tips keep getting bluer/purplish....

 

[arotbart]

I think you may be right about elegans.....

Could it be a Stylaster?

Growth looks very similar to a symplex that I have.

Also looks like an Anacropora forbesi, closely related to Acropora, but a different genus. Not seen a lot in the hobby, but ORA does farm it.
