Your ability to identify SPS and your commitment to and interest in different growth forms and structures are admirable.It looks like maybe the fragment was affected by some kind of hyperplasia or neoplasia, possibly making the skeleton look a little more dense with some odd coralite growth maybe? The colors are good under those blues which would make me think it’s probably going to regrow normally once new growth hits, I will be curious to see an update later. If it keeps lots of coralites with a cupped shape in new growth and not the long deep water look then it would likely be a striata, especially if you see clustered rosettes at axial tips. But I am not familiar with it personally, it does seem to have been collected from some pictures but I have not seen one yet so that would be a plus in my eyes. Even though speciosa is fine and dandy on its own.
Clearly you’re at @Charlie’s Frags house.Not my picture, but here's a shot of the mother colony.
I don't even know where that isClearly you’re at @Charlie’s Frags house.
Great looking colonyNot my picture, but here's a shot of the mother colony.
I wish I had those at my house. I would have to pull out half my other corals for a colony that size.Clearly you’re at @Charlie’s Frags house.

You definitely know your stuff, man. I follow the ID threads just to see what you're going to say. Always insightful.Thank you man, that means a lot for sure, it does take a lot of “studying”. I am no expert, but I do love to learn and study everything pertaining to acropora. I am happy there are others around here that are good at trying to guess id’s too. Sad thing for me is I finally move to our “dream” house in Florida and I get cancer. I am desperate to beat it and get a nice big tank wet as soon as possible.
