I have had this frag for awhile and I'm not sure what it is. Can anyone help identify it? This picture color is close the pink is more vibrant in person.

Acropora millepora? (...or similar) No SPS expert here but that would be my first guess.

This may help with identifying acros in the future: http://www.coralsee.org/

Nice coral in any case.

Dear God, Mr. Goodbytes! I've been tryig to find that site for weeks! (I just can't say that with a straight face)

I'd love a frag whatever the heck it is! Off the bat I'd blindly say Acorpora millepora but really I think it might be something else like A. digitifera. It's still a bit on the small side to tell the growth form and the corallites aren't as "c" shaped that's characteristic to A. millepora (atleast from what I can see in the picture).

looks like a killer acropora prostrata

I'm happy this frag survived my move I lost almost all my SPS. Finally starting to get it's color back, it's supposed to be red with orange tips.
