Do you have a closer pic. I have a frag of a coral that looks very similar and I've asked on several other forums and nobody seems to know.

In your second pic, what is the purple SPS on the left?

Sorry I had missed your post - I am pretty sure it is Acropora valida. I will try and dig up a picture for you.

I think it's a yellow Acro Echinata

It very well could be but the branch tips aren't as hollow looking and the corallite structure looks different to me but it doesn't really match well to the A.carduus pictures in Corals of the world either. I said Carduus because the Red Dragon is said to be carduus and the growth form & structure of the green matches very closely with the red in my tank except the red's branches are much more delicate looking and thinner.
Thanks.
