okay, maybe no one can tell because the pic is too blurry. Can I at least get a single response?

Im not sure what coral this maybe............almost looks as if its sps!

Yes it is SPS.
It is SO hard to id any SPS unless you cut a section out and look under a microscope.
We can only GUESS, and your pic is blurry and the frag is still kinda small to really tell yet.
It LOOKS like a plating type so far but it's not of the montpora sp.
On a good note, it looks like you got a good deal for $15.

Give it LOTS of light.

Thanks for the replies. It's under 150w MH's. It's very hard, almost feels like a piece of ceramic. There is a little die off which is how I got it for $15.

Looks like some form of encrusting montipora. Nice coral!
