Looking for SPS ID

[Ben's Pico Reefing]

I purchased this SPS long ago. It was completely brown and one point just about dead. It is now grown a bit and is colored up. The base is blue and the polyps while green you can see orange/red coloration coming through as it's not done coloring. I want to properly ID.

Its a tenuis Im pretty sure. Looks really nice, reminds me of a Home Wrecker or Walt Disney under MH/daylight.

Need a pic with polyps retracted to inspect skeletal details and radular/axial corallites structure to get a more accurate ID

Looks like it’s trying to be a orange passion.

Thanks all, I have taken a few more pics with polyps retracted. They didn't want to stay retracted long lol. Gonipora is going to have to be moved. Irritating the front bottom of the sps. Gonipora has gotten to big.

The green base with pink around the corallites reminds me of Walt Disney but the polyps look like orange passion

Could be A. tenuis? could be vermiculata? or even euryostoma! the reality is small frags are very difficult as there is less features to reference.

I think it might be vermiculata over tenuis, because of the green ring on the mouth of the axials I commonly see with vermiculata.
Also I see one of the radulars are "pinched"

I was leaning towards Disney but now that I looked up orange passion it does seem to favor more.

Radulars is a new term to me lol. Tried to do a quick search but what is a radular. I saw the term but didn't help researching lol. Thanks

OP is this just the angle making this look "pinched/more pointed" or is the rim of that radial fairly circular/dish shaped? if its pinched I think there is a possibility it could be vermiculata, bit if its dish shaped tenuis,

So hard to tell on lil nubbins

Yes, it is flared like that

mispelling, I'm on my telly sorry, radial like I circled in the pic above.

Vermiculata and tenuis are very hard to tell apart sometimes even as colonies they can be hard.
Example picture vermiculata

So far I know this thing has some crazy polyp extensions. The pics here are close to its full extension but not quite. Wish I had a pic before it recovered and regrow or when I originally picked up

 

[Ben's Pico Reefing]

Success, I found the original pics before it was damaged. You will have to zoom in but it is the tall skinny stick at top.

And here is with it after damage so it shows skeleton.

So I talked to the shop I go to. He had both Walt Disney and orange passions at the time I picked up. Some had browned out with a few other sps. But still wasn't 100 percent it is one of those as well. Hopefully I can get more insight. Great info so far.

Build Thread - New pico 5.4g build

Hello Reef2Reef, My name is Ben and I have been in the salt water hobby for roughly 10 years. I have enjoyed pico tanks for roughly 8 of those years do to the ease and uniqueness. Recently I had a wonderful 3.5 gallon cylinder tank setup. Everything was on the right track. Suddenly while...
