    I'm curious as to how this thing will colonize (branches etc.) I can't really find any colonies that look like this on Google. If you don't have a name for this particular guy, perhaps you have one of a similar coral that I could Google.

    I think it will need to grow out for us to have a decent chance.

    Do you know of any species that are similar to it? I'm curious as to how it will branch etc. Also, is (was) it browned out? The entire backside has turned bright green and is a little bumpy now.

    Awesome! Thanks. I'm leaning towards the Neon Green Acropora Caroliniana. Looks almost identical after Google cross checking.

    Can't be caroliniana. The axial tips would be pointy. Yours are blunt almost like a door knobs.
    Staghorn coral videos, photos and facts - Acropora caroliniana - ARKive

    It is just way too small to guess. And you can't go by color, because potentially any Acro can be that color of green.
