Unknown name

I still don't know what this corals official name is. I quite frankly have never seen it before photographed on the internet but i thought i would share what this thing looks like under the moon lights. One of my favorites.

The daytime pic is before a redbug treatment a month or so ago but shows what it looks like during the day time anyways.

nice coral. Looks very similar to a tri-color acro that I have. Can't tell you if that's what you have as well.

thanks chichas, I dont think its a tri color thought the green color your seeing o think is because of poor lighting (t5's t12's) that i had when i took the photo.

I should re shoot it and see if anybody out there has something like it.

Kevin suggested a few species to me, i looked them up and even with morphing in mind i didn't see any super similar resemblances

edit: also the poylps really do remind me of the garf bonsai realy bright yellow. daytime pic doesn't do it justice

Looks almost like an Australian Delicate to me. Good looking coral.

i think those tend to have a bit small skeletal frame to be honest but those are beautiful all the same. i was looking at it today under the mhs and i do need to re photograph its far better looking already.

Looks to me like a Australian Delicate Staghorn. I've included a link that has a photograph of the coral that looks just as yours does. Same branching and coloring.
