Here's mine, it's a wild caught specimen from Fiji, but I think it's the exact same one

 

[clkwrk]

Thats the closest so far and thats only cause I can see the deep colored polyps . BTW wheres the PE at?

very nice coral it is going to be on my list ..................

 

[Eric Boerner]

Acropora austera, cream/pink body with blue/purple polyps. High flow/high light lover. Will grow in unusual patterns depending on flow.

 

[Eric Boerner]

Actually, looking through this thread, there are 3 diferent species posted...

clkwrk & Lunchbucket have the austera.
dirtyreefer has an Acropora lovelli
The link jackson6745 posted is Acropora exquisita

 

[Eric Boerner]

PS yellow/cream with blue/purple polyps is not uncommon of most wild corals.

 

[clkwrk]

Here is mine now . It has had 2 decent frags taken from it in the last 3 months and is growing well for its awkward lay. It is almost 8 inches long now

I could be WAY off, but it kinda looks like the green and pink nasuta they have at atlantis.

Yellow austera with purple/blue polyps. I've seen my colony color up with purple polyps but only at the tips... amazing how every polyp is purple!

 

[clkwrk]

exactly I have the SB yellow tort and it gets violet polyps but only at the tips on some branches

I don't know what it is but if you have some to sell I am here to buy...

How about this it looks close.

I have moved this piece to a new tank and polyp extension has improved from the pictures. This I bought this piece online as ORA Marshall Island, however when it arrived it looked nothing like the one I order online but I said nothing because it was very nice. It may have shifted colors during shipping. There was not a standard ORA frag plug attached to it either. So maybe its ORA Marshall Island maybe it is something else it a mystery to me as well. I will take a few picture of it and post them when I get home.
Thank you,
David
