Ahh, I forgot the slang name for this one...but then it was brown :)

I know it's not a tri-color, it don't look like crayola..and it has way better color and polyp extension than my bonsai... what could it be? Sweet is what it is..
.
I can't wait for it to grow out some more, it just started to take off.

(one reefer who was over thought maybe it was a purple plasma?)

Looks just like the ORA Bellina. Purple base with bushy bright green polyps. Nice pickup! I love mine, but kinda slow grower.
Here is a link...check it out yourself

Hey thanks! good link, it does look practicaly the same... but also from that same link I found the purple plasma, and it looks pretty close too, but there is a plum crazy as well, lol. The name game...:) It's a Deep purple w/ toxic green polyp acropora.. I guess I can call it what I want...

I really like it, I have a sweet purple rimmed green monti cap. directly under it, and when it grows out, Wow, it will be amazing.

The one posted by Hollywood is a Deswalii Tabling Acro. The one posted by MISFITKID may be a Deswalii, Bellina, or a chips. We would need a top down shot to confirm.

I have a small piece of Deswalii that is starting to grow out very nicely.

I will attempt my first top down then... I know to turn the pumps off, but what about the reflection from my lighting? hmmm... I'll try and figure it out.

You could use a piece of acrylic to get a clearer shot or use your hand to partially block the light. Depending on your lighting you can usually filter out the light glare if you are shooting directly over the coral.
