The lack of really pronounced corallites has me stumped. I thought perhaps A. elegans. Not the greatest pic for Id's I know, this one is tough to photograph.

Takes on a different growth pattern in the display tank, more upright and dense. Traditional if you will.

Best guesses?

Thanks

The 1st and 2nd pics you show seem to be different corals? I guess it just has alot of growth on the 2nd one.

Agreed, however, the first is a frag in the frag tank taken from this piece. Under different lighting/flow conditions. When I initially started this thread, the colony was up very high and in the back of the tank and I struggled to get a decent pic. Since the recent re aquascaping, it's now in a location that is easier to get pictures of.
