A. vaughani http://sdmas.com/corals/78.php or a green A. tortuosa http://sdmas.com/corals/75.php with blue LEDs over it.

I checked out both those links and they look nothing like the acro I have. It's definitely forming into a pretty prenounced table, and the green is actually a very flourescent color. Also, the picture was taken with my T5 daylights on, pics just come out sort of blue because of my cheap camera phone

Efflo

I was sort of thinking the same thing, but I guess it would still need to grow more to be able to be sure.

Any other thoughts?

Efflo?!?!? http://sdmas.com/corals/827.php no way.

I am not really seeing a table growth here, i see many tubular axial coralites protruding from a cluster growth. It might not be either i guessed. But it is definitely not an A.efflorescens. The tips, coralites, and growth are just not the same.

I have a soli that grew like that for a long time before it tabled. The frags from that colony however encrusted for a long time before it began to branch http://sdmas.com/corals/64.php

I've had this coral for a little over a year and its only recently started branching. I also originally thought it might be an efflo or maybe a soli, but now I'm starting to think it may actually be a granulosa http://sdmas.com/corals/33.php

I did recently see an efflo in someone's tank that had growth resembling a "regular" table with multiple branches, sort of how my ora red planet looks now that its starting to table. I'm not trying to imply that this is what's going on here, but I think I'm going to have to wait for more growth before I'm really able to ID this thing accurately.

If anyone has any more suggestions, please chime in. Thanks also to everyone thus far for your idea's.
