Mostly growth patterns.

Most Poccis are ball shaped, while Stylos are branching.

also pocilloporas have thinner branches then the stylophora as you can see in the pictures above.

thanks for the pics to show the differece JonJon
it seems easy enough but with smaller frags maybee it can be a bit more confusing without seeing the parent colony.
Any other tell tale signs?
