SPS ID

[CastAway]

Looking to identify this coral.

It was browned out, and is only now starting to lighten/color up. (The tips are a lighter blue than depicted)

Any ideas @cee, @Rob D., @seased @KJ, @cale0721? Anyone?

I'm not 100% sure but resembles A. Loripes.

I'm not 100% sure but resembles A. Loripes.

Jake wasn't sure what it was or where it came from, but perhaps this makes sense then?

I agree

Looks like the frag you sold me.

Hmm. I think I sold you an A. Valida Adam. But, I have about four variants of valida, and the structure of this piece is a little different. Colors are similar at this point, but coralites are at least a little different.

We'll see what happens in time.

Thanks!
