    If you open the pic and look at the polyps to the right, they don't look like gsp's. They have an anthelia look to them. Some consider anthelia to be bad because it's invasive. Looks more like anthelia to me. Kinda hard to tell from the pic.......

    It really hard to tell, but it also looks like Pipe organs. If the inside of the polyps have a green color, its a Pipe Organ coral. Luna
