Looking for an ID on this ORA Marshall Islands piece I picked up at the LFS (polyps aren't out as it was just put in tank before pic, but that should be good for ID anyway):

Well then it sure has some coloring up to do. The LFS guy gave me the impression that not all the MI pieces are on the website.
Do you have any guesses to species? I know you are good at that Frick
 
Yeah when i worked my days in LFS i remember the ORA list having MI frags (like the Yellow Bottlebrush?) that i still have never seen on their site. So it is possible. Yours looks good. ORAs photography is really the key in those photos.

I was think it could possibly be Acropora kimbeensis.

Thanks! Ill update the pic when it has more time to grow into a growth form and finalize its color in my tank.
