I have another set of photos of a type of Acropora in Egypt that I am not sure which species it is. I am wondering if it is Acropora hemprichii, although I see it is normally brown or pinkish brown and what I saw was blue. The only ones I can find listed as being blue are also listed as rare which this wasn't. I saw this coral a few times and the blue color caught my attention even before white balancing the photos. Below are the white balanced photos and here is an unedited video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14mDkND6rHUo1JXD6CiYYIVTkHx3dKqR-/view

Thank you!
