Curios as to what this is, I hit up the "lfs" (3.5 hrs away). Was looking for a non green or red plating coral, this one looked promising but was pretty browned out. The owner was gone and the new kid had no idea what it was so I took a chance. Looks beautiful now and is turning a rich purple with lime green polyps and growth tips. I am thinking maybe montipora friabilis? It is still real small though so hard to tell. Was hoping to hit the 'easy button' and one of you would recognize it!

I think I found it. Looks like Turbinaria. I was way off...
