    I'm almost certain its a pocillopora. Stylo's are much thicker. JMO

    So, I am 97% sure the last pic is a poccilopora! I have been doing research and reading like crazy on those corals and actually bought an actual poccilopora from my LFS. They are the exact same! The reason it is "branching" looking compared to my other poccilopora is because he was in too low flow which will cause them to branch the way he is. The polyps are too "fluffy" looking to be a stylo. Thanks everyone!
