Stumped?!?!?!?!?!

ID anyone???
This should turn into some debate unless I'm having serious brain farts... Thanks

Astreopora maybe. Hard to tell on my cellphone.

That did cross my mind quickly but I don't believe it is. Sorry for the pics, definitely hard to tell on a cell phone, not the best on a laptop either. The polyps open pretty large, it's not covered with corallites and it's branchy but still very stocky. I've only had it for about 2 days so I still have to observe it. Polyps as of now I'd say most resemble a cyphastrea but a species with larger pronounced polyps. Appreciate the input kworker!

Yeah it did cross my mind if those were branching qualities or if it seemed so by the way rock looks under it. NP, Good luck IDing it!

Picture should be fixed! Anybody have any other possible IDs?

Looks like garf purple bonsai acropora in poor health

Maybe a type of cyphastrea not really sure
Is that a few Duncan heads in the middle of that?

Wow just realized it's been 7 months since post. curious as to how it's doing? Any pics would be awesome if available

I'm thinking its a branching cyphastrea

 

[cmantis]

Sidewaysalanansis Sp. - very rare and produces heady toxins

 

[House of Laughter]

is the base and tubes very hard or are the tubes brittle?

Looks like cyphastrea or perhaps encrusting goni. But I am guessing cyphastrea
