Hi guys I got this frag but don't know what it is, bought it because I think it looks cool. The guy I bought it from also doesn't know what it is.

I've seen a similar coral referred to as a "Stardust Montipora." Not sure of the exact species though. Montis are like acros. Literally around 100 species. Very nice coral. I haven't seen much of them.

It's still new. Wait a few weeks, color might change depending on your tank. Repost it then and maybe it'll look different.

Well it's some kind of monti...see if it starts branching or encrusting...

Thanks guys

I had it for a few weeks now and it's right under 250s mh. It's the same color as the colony and it's a branching type. You could also see some ridges on the left side.

ive got one and it was sold to me as a shamrock

edit.....are you sure its branching?? and not just "ridging". mine is defitnely encrusting not branching. That is not to say it cant form ridges or columns

 

[sr71]

the colony had a few branches going upward for the base

Could be a monti spongoides (sp) if it had a few branches growing upwards. I am not super sure on this though.
