I've been sitting here for about an hour staring at your picture, to some refernce pics, to your pic, to some... well, you get the idea. It sure as heck looks a lot like it but, you know, I.D.ing is always easier with the real thing in front of of you and not something from memory:razz:.

Atomikk, you had one longer than I have; what do you say on this one?

Great coral, but not A. desalwii. The coenosteum (coral base) is too smooth and has the corallites spaced apart a lot more than the coral pictured above.

What ever it is the thing is a tank, I have gone through some stupid water parameter changes and it's one of my only SPS to not be effected.

Ya, those were my thoughts too, especially based on the picture I posted. I was thrown off by your picture. I couldn't quite tell from behind all that crazy PE you had going on there; all the PE made it look like there were quite a few more corallites and made me wonder if it was just the picture I had that made it look like it should have fewer polyps spaced further apart.

Thanks for the ID help!
