Not very good at Acro ID's but is this what your looking for?

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

.

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!
