Sorry it's not the most in-focus shot, but anyone have an ID on this hard coral? Thanks!!

Actually that is a Montipora Elkhorn, staghorns are acros. I have a huge elkhorn colony, and a small staghorn.
 
With the right lighting, and flow it will turn to a nice green color. It grows very fast but is quite brittle. I constantly get frags just from my fish bumping it.
 
It's always been brown, and the mother colony was brown - but I wouldn't mind if it turned green. It's under our new 150watt halide in a great flow area. It loves the spot, but it's constantly fragging itself as well. I'm going to have to collect all the little nubs :)
