Hello,
I picked up this beauty at the weekend, Its a lovely powder blue when under the lights, this morning with the natural light from outside its a light purple as in the picture and shades of green under actinics. I think it might be Acropora Suharsonoi. Please correct me if im wrong.
Does it have a friendly name?
Thanks
Gary.

A. Suharsonoi has long, tapered axial corallites. So it doesn't look like that, but I'm leaning towards A. Loripes or A. Granulosa.

It's a gorgeous acro for sure!! ;Cat
 
Granulosa does seem like the best guess. Awesome find!
 
I would say Granulosa or Loripes as well. Nice piece either way.
Looks a little pale though. I would keep very low in the tank for a couple weeks to regain some rich color.
