Interesting looking coral! It's growth pattern looks almost digitate to me... Can you try to get a closer shot of the growth tips?

I would be leaning towards Acropora digitifera, but without a sharper image it's very difficult to make out any corallite details. Try to line your camera's lens parallel to your tank and prop your camera up with something (if you don't have a tripod).

i googled the name Acropora digitifera and found a pic on the web of what it looks like up close up couldnt find a name though. i will take apic tomorrow of mine when the lights come on

 

[bobbyboussy]

anyone know the name?

I agree that it is a digitate acro maybe samoensis

I see what you are saying buy baff. My challenge to that would be that the axial growth tips don't fit the description of for the species. As Veron describes A. samoensis, "Axial corallites are dome-shaped and more than twice the size of radial corallites. Perhaps Bobby's coral is still growing out, but those axials don't look long enough to me.

i have had the coral for about 6 months now and it seems to grow wider not taller
