SPS - Need a name?

[Uriken]

Hello fellow reefers. I have grown out this SPS from a 20 dollar frag the size of a finger tip. I never knew the name of it. Can any of you offer some information. It's getting big and taking over a good amount of real-estate now making me possibly move some other SPS near by.

Growth pattern looks like green pocillopora

To me it doesn't look like other oscillatory I have. But possibly.

Polyps remind me of a monti. I have a purple digi that will get green tips on occasion. You can see it growing into the cap, similar thick branching growth form
like yours. Just my guess. Apologies I don’t have a better pic. It was sold to me as a ROAB purple digi.

 

[Uriken]

That's close. This thing gets blackish/brown small polyps while the tips and edges stay bright green. I thought someone called it a Jedi mind trick but I looked that up and its not. Right now it's a birds nest shape almost 7 inches across. At this rate its going to eat up all the room the other SPS need.

Montipora Spongodes.

Or Slimeball Anacropora, but the growth pattern looks more Spongodes to me.

Thankyou for the information.

Looks like a dense spongodes to me as well

Look at the additional photos that were posted. Fairly certain it isn't a Psamacorra.

We're there more than 2 photos?

Nope, just the 2 but the second shows the polyps more clearly than the first.

I see what your saying now. Maybe confusa?

Montipora Spongodes.

I’m thinking this too. Too branchy for Montipora confusa? I’m not an expert at differentiating.
Are those branches… or thick columnar branches? Haha
