Mystery Frag (1 Viewer)

Picked up this mystery frag with one of my purchases at the recent TCMAS show. Looking for input as my knowledge of encrusting corals is pretty weak. Initial research I thought it might be a Psammacora? Thanks in advance!

That or also possibly leptastrea sp.

Thanks, hopefully it will become more apparent as it grows!

I don’t know if orange psammacora is different than green, but I don’t feel like my green one has any obvious mouths like yours seems to have. I feel like mine is just a uniform covering of little fluffy polyps. Like Astroturf. Whereas it seems like yours has more defined circular regions.

Maybe that points more towards leptostrea as @ikserk said?

I feel like I need @Reefer Oz to weigh in. I feel like Josh always has a bead on coral IDs.

I agree, my psammacoras never have that much extension

But I'm also not a taxonomist
