Need an odd SPS ID

[reef diver]

This is an interesting SPS, I found it in my LFS's frag tank, it had overgrown the frag plug, and had overgrown onto the plastic holders. Oddly enough it was under very minimal light, just some of the basic PC lighting that we use for softies. It is reddish brown, with extremely small blue purple polyps, these can only be seen because of the blue/purple cast they put on the coral. It is encrusting, not plate or branching, hers a pic of it from above, I was unable to get a good pic of it.

looks like a danae of some type. most likely browned out from the lack of light.

i agree with teen...it's brown from being under the pc's..

Thanks, If it did well in the low lighting conditions of the frag tank at my LFS Im hoping it will do fine in my nanocube, especially because it is less than 4 inches from the lights.

I would agree porites instead of danae

If it grew that fast are you sure you want it in your nano?

4 months to its current size is fine, why not have it in here, its away from all the zoos etc, and if need be it can be fragged.
