+1 nice pieceI believe gemmifera is accurate.
Great identification and cool piece!!
Hoping this survives and I wanna see it now if you still have it!This coral has been slow growing, but growing. The green has really intensified since adding it to the system. It’s absolutely glows in 14k and is starting to develop red inside the coralites. Unfortunately it took a tumble one day and landed on top of an acro that packed a meaner punch. The axial coralites took a beating but are recovering.

Nikon photo (no post processing) captured as a jpeg. You can see the red developing if you zoom in.
You know, I'm going to retract that. I thought it was a monticulosa but looking at it closer, I think it's a robusta.
This is what it looked like right before it nearly succumbed to RTN. It lost 95% of it's tissue but is currently regrowing nicely:
I would guess acropora humulis.Here is the colony before fragging with various lighting and coloration over time.
@therman any thoughts?
