1 year old brown Acro showing color??

[Waters]

Anybody know what species this is? Started as a small frag...now it is roughly the size of a softball. It has always been plain brown......although very muted, it now appears to be showing red, green, blues, and purple? This is a lights off pic. Not sure why there is a circle in the middle...it was taken with an iphone through the glass so I am assuming it is a reflection.

@BoomCorals any help here?

My best guess is Acropora divaricata

Definitely has the same structure.......at this point I guess it is pointless to try and figure anything out based on color since it has been brownish for so long. I just have never seen one color up right in the middle of a branch rather than showing color at the tips with new growth.

I was going to say A. Microclados. Not 100% sure, though.

Yeah, that looks pretty similar also.......this is why I never try to identify any of my acros lol.
