I've had this little gem for a while now and have almost killed it off twice. I am getting two conflicting IDs, one is calling it a "Cali Tort" and another is calling it the "Myagi Tort".

This is an iPhone pic of it under XM 15K 250 watt MH and four T5s.

Thanks for the help.
 
Cali Tort and Ice Tort are Acropora tortuosa, the Ice Tort is an ORA coral. So it would have lineage to that colony.
