Hello 2 orders ago from vivid aquariums i was sent a sps coral in replacement to a coral which did not look good before shipping. I was locally in the area and decided to see if they could ID it which they thought it was a bali slimmer. The other day I went to long beach aquarium and with my luck I was able to see a colony of this coral and it does not look like a slimmer. Now that i had a colony photo I would like to try again and see if anybody can help me ID this cool coral. It is the big green cluster

somewhat in the center of the photo. Thank You
 
I would say Pocillopora verrucosa perhaps. Not my image

I was supposed to get a toxic pocillipora but They did not send it due to it not looking well. I believe they said it was some type of acro. I have two types of pocilliporas and it does not have the structure and polyps they do. Thanks though
