Trying to get a positive ID on this frag I have had for 3 months now. I believe it may be a German blue digitata but I am not convinced. The polys are sky blue and the body is still brown maybe leaning towards a very dark purple but not noticeable yet.
 
It may be a spongodes, they sort of squat out like that and then build fingers later. Color is an iffy characteristic to use for an identification since these corals can change colors under various lighting and water parameters.
 
I'm going to say Montipora digitata, but its species will become more apparent when it's a little larger. It does look a tad like M. spongodes as well.
