Acropora ID

Suharsonoi? This thing glows and it’s one of my fastest growing acros under 250 PAR from T5. Lower right half is all new growth this year with most flow coming from left.

Here’s the “frag” I got from a friend a year ago.

I think that's a reasonable ID with alternatives being caroliniana and multiacuta (which is chunkier).

Oh yeah good shout I hadn’t thought of caroliniana. It looks identical to this wild one:

Supposedly suharsonoi has longer axials but there's a bit of overlap in some of Veron's images between the two.

I’m far from expert but The axial coralites seem short for A. Suharsonoi and second the A. Caroliniana.
