Stumped on a coral ID.

[tthemadd1]

This coral has brown fingers with white/blue tips. It is skeletal at the base, and in the photos you can see the difference between night and day. I really would like to figure it out. It looks like galaxea when fully opened (just the fingers look like galaxea)... Take a shot.

You sure you got enough pics?
Ok, but seriously. That looks like a colt, but I'm not sure.

Looks like a Pocillpora to me.

I just found some pics online and I think that it is Pocillopora, or antler coral.
Thanks for the info.

This was a tough one. Thanks for all the help. It is starting to bleach so I better get on the ball. Hope to find info about depth, lighting, etc.

Its an sps. Give it as much lighting as you can. Place it at the top of your setup unless you have halides, if so no further than half down.

Thanks for the info....
Ill do what I can for it. It has alot of algae growing on the base... Should I scrape that off or leave it....
