I suspect this to be a Christmas Mirabillis, but not sold, due to the vibrance of the green base, the slower growth rate, and the lack of a protruding branch structure. It seems to have a tight polyp structure like it wants to table. Very open minded to many options. I apologize for the crappie picure quality. Thanks!

I'd lean towards RP - as you noted appears to be wanting to table plus the green hues on the encrusting growth.

Thanks for the replies! The problem is they both have a green base and I wouldn't say the RP is as much a table as it is a protrusion. I know this because I have a red planet.

RP is a very fast grower and the first frag I posted is not. And the tabling is way different and the polyps are very compact.
