Problem is even the best of places sometimes have no clue what something is (other than some made up name). Maybe a given family but that can have many variations and color morphs. What I can tell you is it's definitely not a millepora or a strawberry shortcake. Could be some color variation of nasuta or microlados but that's just a guess from what I see from form and it looks like maybe tabling. At least from pics it looks a light purple color with green polyps.

Microclados?

Appreciate the input. I'm not one of those guys where the name or fancy names matter but I Es just curious all in all its a ice frag at a great price in my eyes [emoji106]

Nice looking piece. For 20 dollars it was a steal for a frag that size no matter what it is.

Microclados?

acropora microlados. strawberry shortcake is one as is blueberry shortcake and a variety of other color variations. Its also a tabling coral.
