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.
