Curious to know what species this is. I bought it as an unnamed acro that was green and had red polyps. Now it's yellow, green and red along with red polyps. If only I had a gel filter ):

Looks like one of those maricultured acros.. they basically dont have names and unfortunately don't tend to survive long term..i could be wrong tho..

I'm awful at Id'ing corals so I am not even going to try, but I just wanted to suggest if you take the pictures with your phone you can download a free camera app that allows you to turn the white balance up. With the white balance turned all the way up it gives a pretty realistic representation of what you see without needing any filters.

Aight here is as white balanced as I can make it. Yall might be right about the A. Sarmentosa. I appreciate the help!

Really needs new growth to determine a possible ID, but I’m thinking more along the lines of A. Hyacinthus or something in that direction. Sarmentosa has pretty distinct colorations and is usually very pearlescent.

Sarmentosa would have much thicker axial and radial corallite walls than your piece

Agree with @lemonade need new/active growth to give anywhere near accurate ID.
that being said, I could see this turning out to be selago possibly, it does have some hyacinthus traits too though.
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
