Got an 'LPS Frag'

Is it a torch? the skeleton looks more like a hammer, but the polyps definitely don't.

Skeleton before polyps came out:

91469145


Few minutes later, still acclimating:

9147

Torch was my best guess with those polyps. Not the best colored one I've seen, but the skeleton fascinated me. It just looks different.

You'd be suprised what corals do under high light. Skeletons grow like a ball and not so much outward. I have a duncan colony with about a hundred heads and no discernable branches.
