Birdsnest Coral ID

About 4 weeks ago I received a small frag of birdsnest which I have always wanted. The guy says that he is unsure of the exact type though. Since I received it it has noticeable new growth ~2-3mm in length and has undergone a color change. He told me that this kind was supposed to be red/pink. However, Now under my lights (which have went though a 4 week acclimation period) the new tips are neon green and the older growth is pink. I was hoping that maybe someone could help with an ID. I do have a current picture that I will upload shortly.

 
It's a bit hard to tell because the image is quite small mate but it looks very much like Seriatopora hystrix. AIMS is a great online coral ID database with lots and lots and lots of SPS species and pics, check out all the seri's yourself as most are quite distinct even when small :)

Corals of the World - lots and lots and lots of SPS pics..............
