Does anyone know the type or name of this coral?

It is an Indonesian Breed Acro and has been growing for about a year and is about 20cm in size. The shaft is yellow-green with a light pink tip. It has grown well and its bright yellow color stands out in the aquarium. It is my favorite Acro, but I don't know what kind it is. Please let me know if anyone knows what kind it is.

Looks like possibly acropora divaricata. Well done, you have some nice acropora colonies with great growth formations! Love the samoensis to the right of the colony pictured.
Is it acropora divaricata!
I looked it up on the web and the way it grows and its characteristics are indeed very similar. I have seen a comment on Instagram that it might be Valida. Both of them seem to be possible.

Thanks for the compliment on my acropora colony. The colony on the right is probably a millepora, not samoensis; the blue-green color of millepora is rare, so maybe it is a hybrid with spathulata.

Late to the party but I second the divaricata diagnosis. Coloration is also very typical.
