Dang, Massachusetts Reefers are a tough crowd. LOL

I don't think it is A. speciosa because it would have integrated radial corallites with the axial corallites. Yours barely has any radial corallites, or at they are really small. i am thinking it might be closer to Acropora subglabra.

Thanks man ..
I kinda knew it wasn't speciosa since the branches were thicker n tubular . I know speciosa have those sharp ends at a slight angle .
Nah, Paul C I lives on the other side of town to me and we are friends . He likes those Mississippi mud pies ppl paint with rit dye that u can't drink out of . The kind ,where a collection can pay for a nice whip .
He owns one stick in his reef and it is doing well .
