nope never seen the mother

Then we need to wait and see how it developes. A. solitariensis typically grows a heavy base area and makes an interlocked table from it's branches. Colour mosty beige with pink to blue tips. Likes lots of light.

not a solitaryensis

Care to explain why?

I was thinking along the lines of cytherea or clathrata.

Whisperer,

at first I though of A. bifurcata, A. plana or A. cytherea, but the base is very large for this group of corals. Still, the coral is very young. I've never seen A. clathrata, but it should be very horizontal with almost no vertical growths. Doesn't seem to fit.
