Montipora, not Turbinaria. Corallites are not plocoid and polyps have bulbous tentacles, not tapering.

You can sign into WWC and look at your past purchases and see what it is unless you purchased a frag pack

Ok, your too lucky :rolleyes: . I'm jealous! But I don't think you can go back if purchased in store, but an email and photo may get you an answer.

I bought a bunch of their " budget" frags they have listed saying they aren't quality enough for regular sales costing 5.00 - 10.00 a frag. I received some chunky frags and in no time colored up and look off. This video was right after I unpacked them . I was very happy

Ok, give me a rundown.

Tank age, size, light, parameters water source, water changes schedule. A full tank shot would be good.

I think two things, young tank needs time to mature, if that is under the 16 you can move it to a area with a little more light and watch for issues. Coral need a stable environment and the more stable the better. I had the same issue and am still learning, but about year 2 I figured out that same light schedule and not messing with spectrum, keeping the parameters very stable helped a lot. All of the sudden the tank took off. I thought I was doing good before this but now realized I was missing the stability. Coral take time to adjust before they can take off. But if things are ever changing they can't adapt and don't reach their full potential.
