I have had this coral since back when I first started reefkeeping. I have never gotten a definitive id it. It's now getting big enough that I could frag it, but I don't know what it is to trade/sell it. These pictures are old and I can take more recent pics with a better camera if need be. Do you guys have any idea what it is by these pics?

I snapped a few more. It's kind of hard to tell, but the coral has turned more green. I was thinking Galaxia, but this is the most open I ever see it. It doesn't get all hairy like I'm used to seeing Galaxia.

I was thinking a type of Galaxia too. Do you ever see it put out sweepers?

I have never seen it put out sweepers but I have never really paid attention at night. Truthfully, I have pretty much ignored this thing for years. It has gone through a ton of abuse and only seems to flourish. I'll pay more attention at night and see.
