sps identification

[mpgrant77]

So I was pretty sure that this was a encrusting pink montipora up until the last couple days. I am new to sps so the polyp extension is throwing me. Am I still correct in the identification or is it something different.

This is what it looked like. Then I started getting what I thought was good polyp extension. They would stick out about a 1/16" to maybe not quite an 1/8

Buy over the last couple of days it has been like this which I think is really good but I am not sure. (Sorry camera phone only zooms so well)

Goniopora is my guess.

That gave me somewhere else to look and after researching, I would have to agree with you and say it appears to be a species of encrusting goniopora. Thank you for the help. I needed another direction to look.

Looks like a goni to me too

I agree.

What were you told it was when you got it? Definitely not an SPS.

I bought it at the swap. I wrote down the names of frags I bought on the bags then I did the acclimation and things got a little confusing. I thought I was told it was a pink montipora but I could have also just screwed up with everything I purchased.

Pink Goniopora. They sound a long a like.

I agree, Pink Goniopora(flower pot), which is an LPS.
