Birdsnest?

[Xiaan42]

I got this frag from a local reefer he said it was a neon green birds nest. I am wondering what the Latin name of it is?

I really doubt that is a birdsnest, growing pattern just isnt right. Looks more like a Montipora digitata to me, although it is awful small and too brown to be 100% sure. BTW, the scientific name for the more common pink birdsnest is Seriatopora hystrix and the green birdsnest is usually Seriatopora guttatus.

Seriatopora caliendrum

p.s. if it's completly green caliendrum if not as sjfishguy said it might be guttatus too.You should show us the mother colony

Here is a picture of the mother colony. The frag I got is about 2"-3" long.
