This is a  true table coral, I salvaged it from a local store back in 2001 it was originally solid baby blue, polyps always seem to be out. This species needs strong flow and medium to strong light, it should be secured to the rocks in one spot for it to best grow and color up. New growth has many colors ranging from pinks to blues to purple and even green. The areas of fastest growth are usually light blue.

 This one is in it's evaluation period.

This is one of my personal favorites, It may not be the most colorful but the growth form is very unique. Similar in base color to Acropora yongei but with smooth corallites and orange/golden branch tips. Large colonies will exhibit flattened branches gracefully curving and tabling. This one is a fast grower that can occasionally have growth spurts of up to 1/2" a month. A good SPS starter coral it can handle a wide range of light and current environments.
