[Njoy]

Thanx guys
the base is overgrowing on other sps...

It's hard to ID when the polyps are that fuzzy. Do you have any pics of it with the polyps retracted?

Here is my best guess. http://sdmas.com/corals/540.php

the polyps are always out, even during the night.

Just touch the coral with your finger and then take a picture?

Acropora Prostrata maybe? ..with super long polyps

prostrata would also have longer center polyps protruding, but.... what do I know. I would be careful with the encrusting little guy to the left, tho

it looks as though it has been encrusted really well ( good job!!) I would try to take a razor, ( after vinegar bath and a scrub) and see if you can a good portion off. glue onto a different area, I suppose. This would apply to which ever piece would be easier to relocate. Good luck, and good job!!

My first thought color and appearance

I was thinking it kind of looks like an acropora gemmifera grown in captivity.

Hmmm. I'm beginning to wonder about that last part. To the best of my knowledge, polyps really aren't a defining feature of Acropora.
