Could someone help ID this coral?

thrasher · May 7, 2013

I received this coral as a door prize at a local fish/coral club event. Sorry the photo isn't great if I need to post a better one please say so & ill dust off my real camera and not use my iPhone :)

It is peach colored with small yellowish polyps, it's pretty thick and very smooth looking. If really appreciate an ID as well as any recommendations on its care. Thanks in advance!

Some sort of staghorn acropora, it's hard to tell anymore than that from the pic.

Keep you alk, cal, and mag at natural sea water levels (or slightly higher) and move it up to get good light after its used to your system.

It is tough to even guess, the only thing to go by are the tips which kinda look like Acropora prostrata. The corallites are smooth but I think it is because it is adapting to a change in environment.

I would give it some good water flow and let it grow out some more. Bring back some pics when it develops some structure and new growth.
