Hi all, this stylo colony was sold to me as a milka stylophora. I’ve kept milka before and it had a different growth pattern to this and had completely purple polyps. This one is somewhat bicolour with a mixture of blue/purple and green polyps Can someone help me identify a name for it please?

Thanks!

Kinda looks like a pocillopora. If it is, it spreads fast and you'll find polyps everywhere eventually. I haven't had one in a long time, but it was a pretty coral if you don't mind having a lot of it.

I agree on the pocilopra ID. I have the same coral and think it was called rainbow pocilopora
