Anyone know what this is?

[waverz]

I've tried the Coral ID and someoen said it was A. Lokani but I am not sure about that.

What do you guys think?

One of my favorite corals in my tank but i dont know what it is.

unless you can't get a pic by the mother colony is not possible to ID this piece,it's really too small

It appears to me it should have a similar growth form to the "purple pillow" for whatever that's worth...

based on that polyp extension, im gonna guess a. tenius

I have 2 lokanis and neither of them have those vertical lines/ridges running down the vertical length of the coralite, so I say no it's not a lokani.

I second the A.tenuis.

All of my corals have huge PE! I would say granulosa before tenuis.

But i am no expert. Looks alot like granulosa in this pic.

i'll go along with tenuis, but it really could be a lot of acros, but i am near certain it is not a lokani or granulosa

 

[acrohead500ppm]

id say its tenuis too.

Looks like a tenuis to me.

If as it grows out it starts to show radial corallites spaced closer together like this then I would agree w/ A. tenius. Right now, however, I don't see the typical rosette spacing that is also visible on my tenius colony.

I referred to possible growth similar to the Purple Pillow acro based on frags I have seen of it growing out. I think there is a chance that is what you have. Polyp extension can be quite different on the same exact coral in different tanks so I put no trust in using that to determine species. If it develops similar to this then something like the Purple Pillow may be what you have...
