Nope it's almost like two corals in one. The new growth branches almost look like a.loripes but they are coming out of the heavily consentrated corallite body. I thought it was a.divaricata but now I'm thinking perhaps a.tizardi or maybe even an unnamed species. What do you think Vlad?

Do you use a coral index (taxonomy)?
If you do can you "link" it here?

I mainly use "Corals of the World" volumes 1-3 by Veron. I highly recommend the books.
