Blastomussa ID

[CapitalO]

I bought these as 'pipe organ blastos' about 4 months ago.. Ive fragged it a few times already, its a very fast grower as far as blastos go IMO. Can someone give me a positive ID? (scientific name would be great)

Blastomussa Merleti

They seem a lot different than B. merleti.. the polyps only reach about 1/8" max, and they produce stalk like skeletons as they grow. They seem to grow really fast as well... am I just describing merleti? Ive never kept merleti, but it seems quite a bit different than the pics of ive seen.

Looks very much like B. merletti
