Any help IDing this coral?
Hey everybody! I've had this coral for a while now, and it's been growing ok but not terribly fast. I'm just starting to think my LFS had it labeled wrong when I purchased it. They had it labeled as an acropora, and as I mainly have LPS corals I just took them at their word. Now I'm looking at more SPS corals and this just doesn't look like any acropora I've seen pics of or in other stores. It's pretty soft and the arms seem to move dramatically throughout the day, though not quickly. It does have very small polyps on it that the picture didn't pick up. Any confirmation or ID would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks, I suspected it might have been a leather but it's grown so slowly and has so few features I really didn't know. I've learned more often as of late to not trust the names given to corals at some of my LFSs unless their saltwater experts are around. :P

unfortunatly fish store for the most part only care about making a sale as they employ poorly trained people with little or no knowledge there are a few good ones also that have good staff with correct knowledge
