This was about the best quality I could get with my cell phone camera. If anyone needs a better shot I'll see if my DSLR can render it better.

Skeleton appears brownish/orange and polyps are green and fluoresce under actinic. The polyps haven't fully extended yet (obviously).

Anyone have an ID?

I shouldn't even respond because my id skills are sub par. But to me it looks like a nice sized acan colony. I'm sure someone will come up with the correct answer but I tried.
