So I'm not great with the identification of corals. Somehow I got it in my mind that this was an ORA Borealis. I'm not sure how I came upon that conclusion as I thought it was something else for a year until I looked up what I thought it was and it wasn't even close. It looks to me the skeletal structure along with polyps and color resemble the Borealis but the growth pattern doesn't fit. Mine seems to grow in a tabling manner while everyone else's seems to grow vertical. The base is green with blue tips and brown/green polyps. I'm not sure if the whole coral would turn blue if the polyps didn't get in the way. It grows fast. I cut a one inch piece off of a three inch frag every four to six weeks. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
For the pictures I used an iPhone photography app that I am able to eliminate excessive blue light. The pictures are slightly sharpened and undersaturated to get the best image I could. Photos were taken under 250W 22K MH with supplemental four bulb T5 (3 blue 1 purple). Hopefully they show up on the computer as clear as they are on my phone.
