I decided to keep my tank, and picked this up yesterday.

I believe that it is a B. wellsi because the polyps are too big to be merletti (If I got it wrong, let me know).

The green is metallic looking, and makes everything else in the tank look dull.

Here's what it looked like when I bought it.

less than 24 hours later (sorry about the color, the WB was not right. The color in the first pic is closer to the real color).

Merletti heads tend to be at the end of tiny branching skeleton (somewhat like Caulastreas). Nice looking wellsi piece (and zoas too!)
