Pocillopora or Stylophora?

[ojonas81]

Can't tell the difference between them for this one. What should I look for? If I would to guess I would put my money on Stylophora but not sure.

Thanks!

IMO
looks more like a pocillopora to me.

stylophora grows thicker

My non expert opinion is leaning towards poci also. The slightly bulbous appearance of the polyp tentacles tips, combined with the less thick skeleton that polywise also noted, says poci versus stylo to me.

i agree with pocci, stylo's seem to grow longer and thicker branches before branching off again…more of a stag horn appearance

Thanks everyone. Looks like Pocillopora it is.
