LFS said this was "birds of paradise" birds nest, but I don't think so (doesn't match what I see on the web). It has the polyp rows so presumably it's a seriatopora. Guttatus?

Also, except for the pretty green tips, it's kinda brown and ugly! Some blue tints. Safe to assume it will color up more? Completely different coral but my purple stylophora went thru a relatively brown and ugly phase for the first week, and is starting to color up intensely, so I'm optimistic with this birdsnest coral. This birdsnest looked amazing in the store. Right now, I look at it and go: "Wat????" Looks nothing like what it looked like in the store under their lights, and my lights ramp from very blue to more white, and at no point do I really see what I saw in the store.

I got it 4 nights ago, so it is quite new.
