This guy is growing great! Just wish I knew what it was. Branching SPS with bushy branches.

Much appreciated!

Pretty specimen!!!

 

[Diesel]

Great, thanks guys!

You're welcome.
Now make it your avatar........... better this than nothing, we all need a avatar and it's a great piece of coral.
I got a nice colony of it in my tank.
Can't miss it......

Pavona Coral it is. A rather nice one too.

 

[Tahoe61]

I thought Pavona as well but honestly I am not quite sure now, it is branching like a Psammacora and the color is right.

 

[Diesel]

IMO, pavona is a close call but it's to green to be a Pavona.
Of course more info is always welcome to help a fellow reefer on his way for the right identification on the awesome coral.

Why are people calling it a Pavona? Lol it's definitely a psammocora. Or some might know it as sandpaper coral

 

[MattyJatz]

Pavona doesnt usually branch like this guy is, they do branch but more in a plate fashion.

It's half the fun. I have been dead set on ID's and had it come back to bite me.

I'll wait until Hunter gets here, or Frick.

Another vote for psammocora.

I have had pavona branch like this, but looking at it again I feel I may be wrong. It's upward branches are thicker than I first thought. OOPs my Bad

Don't worry it happens to all of us, you can't be right all the time.

It's Psammocora, no question. Psammocora obtusangula or Psammocora stellata is debatable, but I'd go with the former.

ORA has had this one a while btw: http://www.orafarm.com/blog/2011/07/31/kelly-green-psammocora-now-available/
