Coral ID

[Alaska209]

Would anyone be able to identify this coral, I received it for free a month or so ago and cannot remember what it’s called. I appreciate the help in advance!

Sorry no idea, but it sure looks pretty.
So what is the orange stick in background? I am sorry it looks nice…

Hydnodophora. Might be a limelight. Very pretty.

They like medium light and good flow.

Bubblegum Digitata from what I was told when I purchased the frag.

Looks more like "forest fire" montipora to me.

The all green one looks like it could be a hydnophora, but the skeletal growth (what I can see of it) looks a bit off for hydnophora. . . at least to my eye. . . but I have been on a losing streak lately haha. . . probably hydnophora.

I’m far from an expert as I’m only 6 months into saltwater tanks and corals, but it could be a "forest fire” from what I’ve read they are often confused with each other.

Hmm after some research I stand corrected, I think bubble gum is accurate. Thanks!

Yours does seem to have a blue base and green tips (or at least greener than the forest fire). . . ya learn something new everyday haha

Also, assuming that is a hydnophora I would move it much farther away from the monti. . . they are very aggressive and I fear the monti will not last long (my hydnophora just killed a pocillopora and plating monti)

So far that’s what the consensus has been, let’s see if there is any varying opinions. If it’s the case I have plenty of time to separate them.
