When I got this from the store I was told it was a birds nest but the branches are so thick I feel likes it's more likely a stylo or pocillapora, and guesses? He's a pick of it in my tank. I will also add that the crazy polyp extension does make the branches look a lil bit fatter

It's a BN. Hystrix or Caliendrum is what you want if you like the thin branch. You got Guttatus there. Much fuller polyps, more like a stylophora.
 
The base of my purple stylo )white tips ) is a big as my thumb.
Some of the branches are as thick as my pinkie.
 
Looks like a purple stylo to me. Birds nest have very thin branches and sharpmpointed tips.
