Branched Montipora?
Had this coral for a while. Moved it recently and the growth has really taken off. Anyone know what this is for sure?Click image for larger version Name: ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1428189259.138970.jpg Views: 148 Size: 31.6 KB ID: 269250

Would need a better picture to ID things. It could easily be a branching monti. I don't think it would be a stylopora simply because they are more 'stumpy'.

Montipora digitata....I have a orange/red one. Once stable can really grow fast.

I am leaning in this direction. However, I ran across the kelly green psommacora today and think it could be one
