Some sort of bottlebrush, just not sure which one. Maybe A. aculeus, A. speciosa or A. granulosa? Not much color but a really nice growth form.

Your the Best
Thanks for the input. after reading your reply and some more online research, I'm leaning toward the acropora granulosa

I think that is an acropora turaki

Oh, Boy, just when I thought I had it ...... but you may be right, altho the A. turaki is an "uncommon" coral and the A. Lakani is a common one and both look similar. But I do thank you for you suggestion. I would like to think I accquired an uncommon coral

Time to do a DNA test

 

[crumbletop]

I think it looks more like a granulosa.

Wayne, does the state have any money to do dna testing for me???? just kidding.....

Jack, thanks, I finally settled on the granulosa identity. looks real close to that and a more common coral also. Thanks for the help everyone
