Congrats - did you have suspicions about what it might be, or did you just take a flyer?

Wow! It's always nice to gamble on a brown mariculture and it turns into a stunner, good job! What I remind myself about maricultured corals is the people who grow them (probably) only grow the nicest looking corals they can find in their area. If it's brown at the LFS, it's probably not their original color and will develop into something else with time and stability. Looks like this gamble paid off for you :D
