without a close up shot of the corallites its hard to tell if it is gomezi or austera but i am leaning torwards austera, as gomezi usually has a thicker skeleton

thats is not a turaki i can tell you that for sure. still hard to say if it is a tortuosa or a gomezi. That last pic makes me shift from what i last said and lean more towards a tortuosa. Either way its a nice coral!!
