Here's mine...my Flame Hawk's actually. Not sure it's a yongei but it's green and it slimes.

64Ivy, that looks like mine and it's my only coral that's doing poorly.
Anyone know what else than Yongei is possible for this coral?

Nice slimer, I have a Q about your Flame Hawk, does he play nice with the coral in you system? was thinking about getting one myself...

It could be Acropora aspera, but the branches are quite thin for it to be this coral. A closer inspection of its corallites is necessary to be certain.

In the following picture, the coral on the right is Acropora yongei, whereas the coral on the left is Acropora aspera. Notice that Acropora aspera looks significantly "chunkier" than Acropora yongei. Some say that strong flow causes this coral to develop thick branches. To appreciate the difference one really needs to inspect the corallites of both corals when the polyps are fully closed.

i always thought the green slimers were closer to Formosas
