    I'm just starting my reef tank. So, I'll be adding a build thread eventually. Tank is almost a month old now. This guy came with my live rock. So, I have no idea how to go about ID'ing corals, other than randomly filtering thru pics between the major categories...

    What is this one? It's maybe doubled in size over the last 2 weeks.

    Thanks all 3REEFers...

    It does look like the shape of the Trees I've seen in books. Just didn't know for sure...I guess coloring can always vary??

    Thanks for the quick reply.
