Stylo or Porites?

The pic is with it retracted. When it’s extended its polyps are pretty long. I’m leaning to stylo.

What say you?

Perhaps stylocoeniella

Definitely porites. I’m always impressed at how long the polyps look when they’re happy.

Agree with porites, it looks like my jf lime porite below, polyps retracted. It appears almost red when its polyps extend.

Porites; Stylocoeniella has coenosteal spines

Do you have yours in higher or lower light?

I had it on the sand for a long time, but had to move it up into the rocks last year since I was running out of sand space. I have metal hallide, so even on the sandbed its pretty bright but now its up with the acro's.

Perhaps stylocoeniella

I agree stylocoeniella

 

[encrustingacro]

I agree stylocoeniella

Stylocoeniella has exert polyps when open, larger spacing between corallites, and coenosteal spines. Best way to tell would be if OP got a high-quality photo showing corallites up-close.

My eyes stopped being able to see corallites 30 years ago.
