Well I bought this coral a while back and I didn't think it was going to make it. It dwindled down to a spot about the size of pen head. It was one of the first corals I added after treating tank with dog dewormer to try and get rid of blue star polyps. Now it has made its way back to this. I don't remember what the heck it was, but its starting to look pretty cool. Any clues as to what it might be?

Well this guy is certainly not a fast grower and is starting to get shaded out a bit. But Its starting to reveal what it is.

what ever it is. Its very slow grower.
 
Like @spspirate , the original picture the first thing that sprung to mind was ORA German Blue Polyp. But, after seeing branches, and is coloring, almost looks like the Pearlberry....hmmm :)

Oh I can only wish. I used to have the coral before the crash, and it was one of my favorites. One of my top ten corals.
 
Well I had to cut the coral above it to make more light for this guy to grow. Starting to spread its wings now.

Well its starting to compete for space now. I'm going to have to make it some room. REally like this coral
