I'm a frequent to R2R but haven't posted on this forum as much as others. I'm trying to change my habits since it seems like there are so many great reefers here, and the knowledge trumps my local forum. Anyway I picked up a frag a few months ago from a LFS because I liked the look. They weren't quite sure what it was. I have checked many databases and can't seem to find anything that matches this coral. Sorry for the poor quality of photo I don't have a DSLR. The coral has thin branches it's mostly green skin with purplish tips. The polyps are bright neon green/yellow. The polyups are thin and rather on the long side. Any ideas and comments are welcomed. I would really like to figure out what this is. It has settled in nicely and grown quite a bit since it has been in my tank.

Seems like it's a variant of a granulosa that's the closest I can find that it looks like.
 
Looks like it could be Valida, maybe a tri-color.
 
Maybe a Spainbow?
 
It's defiantly close but not just quite... I kinda wish it did but still like this coral. Here is a pic I found that looks the most like it. It's been hard to find other examples to further confirm this.
