Anyone have an idea of what coral this is? It was sold to me as an acro, but definitely doesnt seem like it. It seems to be SPS. It has brightly colored non polyp tissue. The polyps aren’t very big, but the polyps are more rounded than fuzzy as most sps are. the polyps resemble Alveopora the most, but doesnt seem like its that either since its a bit branching. Im truly stumped.

Looks like montipora spongodes based on the green skeleton, but the polyps are a bit puffier than normal. Might just be stressed, but I think that's what it is.

I never heard that polyps will get puffy if stressed! Wouldn’t they just retract?

i will continue watching it!
