Got this from a live sale and I have no idea what it is. I was told a "Branding Hydro" but I think he meant branching. Either way it does not help me as I have found nothing that looks like it. It looks more lime green than the pic shows. I just don't know where to place it or what it might require for flow to thrive.

Let me know what you think.

Branching hydnophora. Right idea, just a little off on the spelling lol

Thanks ! ! That looks like it :-)

A fairly aggressive sps coral I hear, give it some room. I've heard medium light, and if you give high flow, it will contain the sweepers a bit.

I don't know... Doesn't really look like a hydnophora. Almost looks like an encrusting montipora grew over a monti digitata or acro skeleton. Odd...

It does look more like a Montipora.

 

[tdileo]

It does look more like a Montipora.

I do agree that the polyps especially make it look like a monti, but the growth structure looks very similar to a hydnophora, at least to me. They usually have more of a fuzzy look with a denser amount of polyps, but it may not be open all the way

Looks like Montipora Stellata

Here's another pic I just took

Montipora.

 

[Fudsey]

Digitata? Because those look more like round stalks where these are more flattened.

 

[29bonsaireef]

Stellata

 

[Fudsey]

OK that looks more like it
