New acro Id help (pics included)

[mntl]

Need some help with an ID, it grows out like a table (but not flat so i doubt it) in the picture it is not clear but it is attached to the rock's side. It grows horizontal then up and bushy. It is small (slightly bigger than a golf ball and coralites are tiny. I included a close-up of the coralites, sorry if not so clear. The body is a light cream color with purple tips, slight green tinge at the base.

I can't for the life of me remember the name, but I believe it starts with an 's'. I got one as well, but it has browned considerably.

Thanks for the response--Do you have a picture available of yours so i can compare growth form/coralites?

Looks like A.plana to me.

dkle--That was my first thought also but the coralites are so small compared to most plana I have seen, that is still the best guess I have though. Anyone have any pics of some plana for comparison, I have tried the search but it is not happening at the moment.

Hey John,

It is kind of small but you can compare. The plana I have is the green with purple tip frag. Mine is a little more that half way up and medium flow.

They love flow and will take high light off a higher kelvin bulb....looks like you got a keeper there...

Thanks everyone for the responses:

sps_addict-that looks like it (other than the awsome green yours has ) the polyps are even the same color and same coralite look. Thanks!
