Bad picture, its quite dark purple, and very hairy. I'm thinking some kind of seriatopora maybe..!?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Here is a pic of my caliendrum.. I think they look quite different?

The purple one is a bit thicker and has longer polyps.

gaultier, different 'clones' can be different in appearance. I have a very interesting S. hystrix, that is green and sort of weeping in growth. It is clearly S. hystrix, but looks quite different in the superficial qualities. Apparently, thses are, evolutionarily seen, newer corals and still very plastic in their forms and colours. Aslo, short lived on the reef. rarely reaching 8 years.

By the way, welcome aboard!
