ID please

[Jovreefer]

I was sold this as an acan possibly hilli. The person was not sure, but the more it grows and the more I look at other acans I dont see anything like it.

Could anyone confirm or give me a new ID?

A regular pic of it.

And a close up

Really ... no one has a guess still?

Blasto perhaps? I agree it doesn't really look like an acan, but I'm not very good at this guessing game yet.

I think its favia or the like. Actually with polyps withdrawn it looks like the tyree war coral. But not wanting another what is tyree thread.lol.

Heres an older pic, maybe this will help too.

The first 2 pics were around the same time, I believe right after a feeding, the green centers shrink and it gets really fluffy.

Lemme see if I can dig up a pic of it when I first got it too, when it still looked "acanish" to me.

Here it is when I first got it. sorry, its a bit blury.

It kinda looks like this http://www.rarefrags.com/whitesnake.html which is a lord.

whatever it is, it is a good looking coral

 

[Jovreefer]

Well it does not look like a blasto IMO
Not a lord either, I've got a few of those, lords polyps separate, these are together, they are also larger than the lord polyps.

favia...I've been looking at a bunch of those...I just dont think its that either... do you have a link to one it looks like?

I really wanna know what it is lol.

Is there an LPS or plain reef guru out there that I could send pics to for an ID? lol
