Looks like a green horned coral aka hydnophora. One of my favorites. Steve, any problems with the Montipora Digitata being so close to it? Maybe it just seems closer in the photo than it actually is.

Correct Sam, it is a hydnophora. This one just happens to be brighter than any other I've ever seen. If Steve is lucky, it will put out sweeper tenticles and kill the digitata!! Although I doubt even a horn coral can kill the darn stuff!

I haven't seen too many neon green's either. I've only seen one and that was at Big Al's in Coquitlam last week. It was a large colony for under $40 if I recall. Their coral prices have come crashing down recently. Even their Green Fox corals have come down a lot. I hope they stay that way.
