too hard to tell w/o a closer picture but if I can guess than I would say acropora rosaria

Can you get a better pic also a top down pic?
After looking at it again it could possibly be an efflo but there's really no way to tell from that picture.

It looks to be two growth patterns there. One initial thicker branching and almost tabling growth, then it looks like it is spouting long axel tips as new growth.

So it could be Valida, a Tort maybe, Kimbeensis? It is hard to tell. Grow it out a little longer and get some close up pics.

That's an efflo, for sure. They look like that when they come in on maricultured plugs, then after a few months take on the usual efflo form.

Thanks guys! I'll take another pic in a few months and I'll pull out the slr instead of cell phone pic
