Acropora vermiculata?

[kevin_e]

I've had this piece for 8 months. It's been encrusting for the past 7 months. It is finally beginning to show vertical growth. One of the branches has a white growth tip now.

It's quite fuzzy, similar to a millepora. It always has it's shorter octo-polyps and singular feeding polyps out.

My question is, and I know its darn near impossible to ID a small frag, is if it is actually a vermiculata. I'll post 2 pictures. One is when I got it and the other is now, after being basted.

Looks a lot like my red planet frag. Nice!

I gave two RPs too. One is directly below the coral in question on the last pic. It was a tip that fragged off a frag in transportation. The other is in much better condition.

Maybe A. vermiculata. Another guess could be A. prostrata.
