LFS said he thinks he got this frag in from an Indonesian coral shipment, but didn’t know the name. Since he didn’t know what it was, he cut me a great deal on it.

I was trying to look around to see wat it was. Some parts of it look like a Spaghetti and others don’t.

It did appear to more extended at the store, so I want to get it in the right spot it needs.

It does appear o look more like a green Nephthea to me as well, but hard to say. They are both similar. Both do require moderate lighting, so either way, I’ll move it up a bit and see if it will extend out more.
 
I would lean toward nepethea...post another pic when it opens up.
 
Nepethea...maybe the palua

This is the most it has opened up so far. If I move it to high up, it will close up, but if I move it low, the polyps open, but won’t extend the base like at the store.

Yeah i think you're right with that. Ill give mine a few days on that rack and see what it does. If it won't fully open up, i'll try somewhere else
