Looks like the beginnings of a candy cane coral.

Looks like a Acanthastrea lordhowensis or "Acan" to me.

+1 on the acan lord even thou they seem pretty spread apart but then again mine are so ? could be them definatly

 

[ricklalonde]

they seem pretty spread apart

I think they look spread out because the flesh in-between the polyps had receded at some point. 

Also, sometimes low light will cause them to puff up like that.

I did have lower light on them, just added 2 more t5's today, so we will see what happens. It was very cool to watch this grow from nothing (about 2 months time)

Thanks everyone !!!!
