Default Help ID new coral

I picked up this piece tonite from my LFS. It caught my eye right away and looked out of the ordinary. It was labeled as a A. Multiacuta, but i've never seen one this bright. I'm pretty sure it's deepwater piece, but not sure wut kind. It doesnt have many polyps and they r spread fairly far apart from each other. Any ideas??

this is some freaky looking coral. It looks like it would glow in the dark. Sorry I have no idea what it is though.

its definitely a multiaculta, the ones shown in some sites though are a bit brighter green, this one may be a bit bleached but im sure in your tank it will color up soon. In any case, it is a super nice coral, how much did you get that for?

i spoke to someone else that thought it was an Acropora suharsonoi due to the pointy tips. either way its a cool coral. i bought it because it was so bright, even though its a little bleached it has a green floresence to it so hopefully it darkens a little, but stays brighter than others ive seen. i have it low in my tank under t5s and thats where its staying i think since its a deepwater piece it should be good down there.
