Need help to id coral

[Reef-_-Noob]

Hey guys picked up this piece and no idea what it is. Any help would be great

Photos under white light would help, but my first guess would be some kind of euphyllia. It’s hard for me to see the tips though with all the blue light. Some of them look like they have “fingers”, which is not a feature of euphyllia.

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

It is a stoney coral. The fingers are the polyps

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

It has the stems of a deep water but doesn't really seem like a deep water

Looks like a galaxea coral

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

I can see the Galaxea. Pictures online don't look similar tho. I know they are aggressive with sweepers

It might be an Alveopora

 

[Reef-_-Noob]

The polyps look like galaxea but the structure is stoney. Definitely not alveapora I have one of those

I always thought Deep water stony corals were mostly smooth skin

Ticked off duncan? Tentacles/heads don't look exactly right but I think the skeletal structure fits.

Yes the structure looks like smooth skin. Never seen any in person but looks like the pictures only different. lower not expanding not branching out

 

[AstroCoral]

Well I have to say I’m quite stumped, I don’t know what would have skeletal branches like that other than a green stem Duncan.

I'm also leaning towards a duncan. They can still remain green even when they lose most of their polyps or are extremely ticked off.

My vote goes for duncan or turbinaria, no smooth skinned acro has polyps that pushed out IME. They also look too big for a smoothie.

The polyps and structure are all wrong for Duncan. It reminds me of a Turbinaria Heronensis. Very cool score!
