Acro for id

[bct15]

What is this, I bought it as a wild simplex two summers ago but I'm not sure about that anymore. I dropped the colony on the ground and shattered just over a year ago and it turned this green. It used to be purple. It's in high flow and high light. It branches are actually playing with a downward slope. Frags have turned purple again in low light and it's polyps are Snow White...I know color doesn't mean much in IDs though, just tossin out additional details.

Possibly a. Lokani

It's not lokani, I have lokani as well and it is very different but I can see how that might be a suspected candidate upon first glance at the photos. The picture does not show it well but the branches are flat. They are totally flat on te bottom and a little rounded on top but still pancaked looking. When I got it, it was much more pancakes and branches looked wider. The tips came to a some what triangular point. It has rounded out a little more in my tank over the past two years though. It doesn't really have radial coralites though as all of the radial coralites look like branches or their owns axial coralites.

Looks kind of like caroliniana? Does look like simplex too.

Thanks, I'm fairly certain it's not caroliniana as well. Guess I'll just continue to call it simplex.
