Hi guys, newish reefer here. I picked up what I think is a Stylocoeniella frag about 2-3 month ago. I've never seen this before and it seems to be a graft of two different varieties so I'm having some trouble ID'ing it. It's actually doing really well and is encrusting most of the frag plug (don't have any recent pictures and I'm at work). It's polyps have also become really dense and super bushy. First picture of of it with polyps retracted, the second is an old one with polyps out (please excuse the hair algae, that's since been taken care of). If anyone has any information or knowledge to impart that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Kinda looks like WWC Two-Face (but I could be wrong)

That seems so. That's interesting because I'm pretty sure this example is wild collected (in Australia so coral import is very rare). Not sure if this the result of chimerism, artificially grafted, or something that is naturally occurring
