    Just got this from a friend. I think it's a pocillopora but I haven't seen any this same color. This one looks pretty unhappy at the moment too. I was told it was in the back of the aquarium where it was barely seen, so maybe it wasn't getting enough light or flow or something idk? I have it near the top now with quite a bit of flow.... hope this puppy turns around for me :D

    That looks to be a Pocillopora.

    You can kinda see a difference three days afterwards. It's polyps have a green fuzzy tint to them that's hard to catch in the pictures. Curious if it will extend more in time or not...
