He's pretty pink to be a green anything. Thanks for the id, it's a great looking fish.

Sorta looks like the orange/green formosa I picked up from John (Lobsterboy). Is there any orange in the body?

Well, based on the axial corallites it's an acropora and I could probably go as for to say that it is likely a Green Staghorn Acropora. Now Staghorn is a pretty all-encompassing name; without seeing the skeleton behind the polyps there I can't really tell you which one it is exactly. I'd guess that it is A. cervicornis or A. formosa.

These don't always have the most shocking colours but you can find them in most any shade with green, blue, purple and brown being the most common.

Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm still workin' on my SPS ID-fu.
