coral ID please

[bergamer]

I got this frag for free 6 months ago and then it fell btwn my rockwork and I just found it again yesterday. I was just wondering what it is. it thrived in my tank for the little time it was in there before and I have PC's. I mention this bc I thought it was an SPS.
it has been exposed to light again and it has already began to grow again

Too hard to tell, can you get a clearer pic?

 

[bergamer]

that is pretty clear, that is exactly what it looks like, yellow stalks growing up

 

[viper_930]

Definitely not close enough or clear enough to make an ID. I can't even see the coralite structure.

ok ok, i will take some more pics tonight.

I must say that from the first pic, though it is blurry and indistinct, it looks like Acropora.

its a gorg, I found it in my J. Sprung coral book (which I could not find before)
The scientific name is too long to spell, but it is similar to purple bush, except that its branches are thicker and more round- according to Sprung

by the way, on my monitor at my house the picture looks perfect, which is why I didn't understand why you could not see the pic was perfect.
but atm I am at school and the picture looks funky and out of focus- strange very strange

ok I believe it is amuriceopsis sulphurea
