About 8 months ago I purchased this frag online and it was sold as PPE. While it is large and green fringed I fail to see the purple - faded at best. Now that it is happy it has been growing like a weed. The picture quality is not good, not using my camera - using my wife's point and shoot.

Can anyone positively ID this coral. Thank you!

Well, they COULD be really washed out PPEs, but I don't think so. PPEs are also notoriously slow growers. My frag has gone from one polyp to three in 4+ months, and that's pretty average. I don't have an ID for you though. What kind of light are they under?

try moving them down to the bottom of the tank. could be to much light on them, but they dont really look like PPEs to me either.

I found a pick using my camera, still not a dark purple face...or really purple at all. Thanks to all who have responded and helped me out on this one.
