I believe it's an acropora loripes, just want to be positive
Been in my tank for a couple months and has been coloring up nicely

 
It's really hard to say from the amount of Acro that is in the picture. A. loripes will have many different of shapes and sizes between axial and radial corallites, both may be tubular to nearly spherical, with very thick walls. Tubular axial corallites often have no radial corallites on one side and thin* pocket-like radial corallites on the other.

So in short it could be, but there's no way to even be close to certain until we know how it continues to grow and develop.
