Been debating this with a few different people and need to find whom if anyone is right on this id!!
suggestions so far:
-acro efflo
-turbinaria
-montipora undata
Any one agree with any of these or have another idea?
Its the purple piece with the green outer edge right next to the red monti.

reason being?

cant say for sure but well it doesnt look like an acro effo to me and it could be a turbinaria but it looks more like a purple montipora to me the green rim is interesting though

Oops.

It is definitely not a Monti undata. I would need a better photo to ID well. I can't even tell if those are small polyps on the surface...? If those are small polyps it is definitely not Turbinaria sp. It might be A efflo, but I would need to see a better photo. Please try to get a clear macro photo. Either remove it to a photo box or try macro setting and zoom in.

don't really want to remove it, I'll try for a better pic but its at the center of a corner bow front so good pics are hard to come by!!

Hmmm...those little lighter specs on the surface...are those polyps or?

It's either a monti or some type of LPS...is it fleshy to the touch? It definately is not an acro.
