SPS ID Please :)
 
Picked this up for $10 about a month ago, this is when I got it, seems to be growing like crazy I will post a "growth shot" tonight
Anyone have any Idea as to what it is? The seller thought maybe it was a type of birdsnest as it, does appear as such, but I wanted to try to get a species ID on it :) Thanks guys! Also is 1/2"+ of growth in 3-4 weeks good?

Pocci....maybe stylo or birdnest. Too small to be certain.

the parts that have since began to brach look a bit thinner then most stylo's I am seeing, but yes its quite small. I will try to post a better pic tonight showing skeletal structure as well as with the polyps extended since the small growth spurt it has had

p.s. you can see the polyps are very long on this type is there a birdsnest with polyps this long? :lol:

I thought so maybe, but the polyps on the tips of the branches are green, then the maing body the polyps are pinkish
