Dragon is a carduus correct? This is appears to be different than my JKR's red dragon.

Fifty bucks! It is struggling I am thinking it is a wild piece and I have it under leds which probably isn't helping, going to take it to my other tank it is a little more stable and runs t5s.

Yes Red Dragon is A. carduus. That is the problem with all these Dragon names. There is about 12 different species of Acropora that are bottlebrush deepwaters with the possibility of turning into any color or combination. Yet most people prefer to ID them either Red Dragon , Blue Dragon, or some Echinata.

I would agree with your initial ID as Acropora cf. awi.
