Acropora ID; fast growing beauty

[Nikita1981]

Bought it just as an encrusted plug for a couple of bucks but the last couple of months is showed excellent growth and beautifull coloration with bright blue tips. The pictures don't do it justice, but hope somebody can tell me the name of this species.

Looks beautiful! You are doing a primo great job! Keep it up!

Thank you! But I would love to know what it is so maybe I can look for another colour of this particular species since it seems to love my tank

Does it have a 2 tone blue coloration or is that just shadows? Kinda looks Oregon tort'ish.

Oregon Tort maybe.

Looks like a secale. Close up pics of the coralites would help. Would be nice if it was an Oregon tort, but it’s not a tort that’s for sure.

Thanks, tomorrow is glass clean day and I will try to make a close up of the polyps.

Tried to make a close up, maybe this helps

It could be Acropora gomezi.

Looks close to a secale to me but the round long tips are throwing me off a little. But I do see that when flow and light is off or on the sides of some wild colonies.
