    I've seen this same growth pattern and coloration recently at a few stores (online and local). Those stores listed this as an Acropora kimbeensis. I have a colony on hold locally. It has a green/purple body with orange polyps...very bushy.

    i was looking at a couple pieces like that but the carnies in Bozeman wanted $45 for a piece 1/2" talk with no encrusting. Nice steal!
