Far from an expert but I'll take a stab.....granulosa.
Whatever it is, its very nice. Like how its green, purple, blue, and white!
 
To me it looks like a cali tort.
 
IMO that other wild coral is totally different.

To me it does look like a tort. Somewhat like the ORA "ice tort" the coralites and color are much like the other Cali torts.
 
Keeperz spagetti acro for the win!!!!! Where did you get the piece???? It's interesting to see these pop up I thought I had a original piece...;)
 
There is actually a species of acro called a spaghetti? lol
 
I dont know but the branches seem some what thin compared to other tort? I'll try to take some side shot later on today.

By the way Troy, it was a brown tiny stick that the local reefer gave me probably about 1 and a half ago. cant recall what he called but he did say it was a used to be a very nice acro.
 
I'm going with Cali tort also. The branches will grow different thickness depending on flow. Mine is in two different spots in the tank and grows totally different. You wouldn't even think they are the same coral from the same colony.
 
Yours is slightly different but it's the same piece check kevinpratt123 sps for sale packs thread he has it for sale and it's dead on match of yours.... ;)
 
hey troy how does your piece doing? got any latest update shot
