Looks like a teal (sometimes turquoise) stag to me. I have one that exhibits the blue tips as well.

In real life it is teal green with bright blue tips. Slight transition reddish to teal

It's not the best pic, but here's my teal stag in front of my lime in the sky.

I have one that is similar or the same. I got it as the "Seattle Sparkler" This pic makes the tips look more purple, but they are actually sky blue.

This look very much like mine.
Another name that someone told me is Steve Elias Blue Staghorn, an LE coral from Steve Tyree.

I know we cant trace lineage, but it resembles the ora turquoise stag.

I have one that looks just like yours. Mine was a frag from Boom Corals. I think it's a pretty common variant stag now that I've seen with mariculture too.

I guess it will be Green Stag with blue tip. One of the earliest people keep it, start at around 2000 was Steve Elias, thus it was named Steve Elias Blue stag. He must have a lot of light on it becasue this coral change color.
The species name is Acropora loisettae. Apparently it is a chameleon and color change a lot with various tank condition. Blue with very high light and green with lower light.
It was a lot greener when I first got it, now turquoise instead of true green. I will have even more light on it and see how it change.
I will frag it and put part of it under lower light and the original colony continue to have high light. I will keep this thread update.

It does look like that initially when I first got it into my tank. Lighter and more blue with higher light and current. I think this is an old coral in captivity and many people name it various names due to the color changes. It is a green (-> teal -> blue) base with bright light blue tip. Gets much lighter under low nutrients and high light. It has a reddish-> purple tone to it near the tip. This come out with high light. Polyps are greenish more blue and purple with high light.

I just picked up this coral. The Steve A stag is an amazing vibrant blue in high light and green with blue tips otherwise. I can’t wait to get it growing! Awesome stag.

It is a very nice, fast growing and nice color. I love the overall look of the colony. It is a very beautifully shaped coral.

Love these old school stags. I too have one very similar just starting to take off. Got it from Harry’s frags.

My bad, meant Steve e stag not Steve a. I thought it was gone from the area until a friend posted a frag for sale.

I have two that look the same as well. A couple no namers from a local hobbyist. He did say he has had them for a while and they are old school. I love them. Pictures don't do them justice. Both have blue tips.

 

[TexasTodd]

Mine from Boom looks more like your second one Jcole.

Thats a scripps, A. micropathalma.

There are some great looking stags in this thread!

Some loisettae's have been posted by others , but I think @OrionN 's /OP stag looks more like an acropora lovelli IMO
