I don't know what mine is but it is one of 5 acro that survived my acro crash. I just happened to snap a pic a couple days ago...

The tips are just starting to turn purple, which they were when I first got it. I'm sure I set it back quite a bit but it's coming around now.
 
Here is my A. sarmetosa. It's one of the nicest corals in my tank. About 8" - 9" across. I actually have video of it spawning one evening a few months back. Sorry the pic is so blue. Just snapped it and my lights are ramping down.

Are the tips blue or is that just cause of the lighting? Amazing coral, how about a shot of the green one next to it, please be aware if it's as nice as your sarmentosa I'm gonna ask for a full tank shot next :)

The tips are actually kind of pink. Here is another shot of the coral with all the lights on. I use T5s. There are green corals all around this guy :) Maybe you were talking about the ORA green planet? I took a top down of it as well. It's a really nice coral and is just starting to take off in growth.

I'll work on a FTS. It's been a little while since I've taken one.

So nice! That was the one I was talking about, kinda different growth pattern than I'm used to seeing in a green coral. Both beautiful pieces, looking forward to more shots from you. You should do a tank thread and let us all know more about your system, so far I'm definitely impressed :)
