    Hey all,
    We've had this in our tank for several months and it's probably very common, but we don't see it in any of our ID books.

    Any Ideas as to what it is?
    Thanks
    Kirk

    Looks like an acropora nasuta -

    EDIT - photo found on google, don't know who took it, but they look fairly similar.

    Tom,
    That's another reason we would like to know what it is. As you can see we have it next to some pretty nice Acans. So far there have been no big problems but we do suspect it stung one when we first brought it home.
