LPS frag ID

[caietaro]

I have this LPS frag that I picked up but now can’t remember what it was. Any ideas?

Has a Duncan look to it but I'm not 100% sure

It doesn’t have a stalk like my Duncans, this one is low more like a mat.

Hydnophora perhaps? (sps)

Leptastrea sp. maybe?

Anyway to get a pic of the skeleton once it closes?

that’s the closest match I’ve found l, but I can’t quite tell.

good idea I’ll try that

The thickness of the tentacles are throwing me off, could be the pic. Leptastrea is a strong possibility @Zack Klabunde

Leptastrea I believe.

It is a lot “bushier” than other leptastrea I’ve seen

Heard back from the person I picked up from, they confirmed it’s a blue leptastrea

Hmm. What does it look like without the blue lights on?

Funny you post this. I had one and it could of been a possibility. But they don’t come blue. Good call though with turning off blue lights.

This picture came out terribly, but you get the idea...here it is with blue lights off. It has light blue polyps with teal eyes

 

[Zack K]

Yea. Still sticking with my original post. Doesn’t appear to be a Hydnophora.

 

[caietaro]

Agreed, I don’t think it’s a Hydnophora
