Coral ID???

Its not that hard. Its alive cause its colors have changed since I got it and a little string of something was on 1 of the tips. Also most of the tips are whitish where its been growing.

If the tips are whitish and there were strings coming off one of the tips, then it's DEFINITELY an SPS.

I think we're need a picture of the polyps extended to get a true identification.Its definitely an SPS but I'm not sure what kind.Almost looks like skeleton on my branching hydnophora without the flesh exposed.

Ok I tried a different camera and heres some more pics.

I hadnt even thought of that.
And I agree after seeing the close up pics.
BTW,If thats what is,dont let it touch any corals you want to keep.Hydnophora has a fairly potient sting and will most likely kill any corals it stings.

So do you think its Hydnophora? Is that an sps? Still no polyps to be seen.

Well I finally think I found what it is. I think its a Pachyseris, I think its a stony coral, and here is a link to one similar to mine 2x2 Pretty Pachyseris!: Extreme Corals

It definitely looks like that, and I've never even heard of that coral before! Cool beans yo.
