Can someone assist with identifying this coral?

Hi,
I just received this coral from a friend and he called it a Pistachio coral. Is this an acorpora?

That is an acropora, but I don't know what species. Maybe @C. Eymann could help?

Definitely acro

Acropora samoensis I believe. Frag box in Mississauga sells it.

Looks like jaune or Indo Yellow Tenuis

Can you post a side profile pic?
Thick walled radials with some concave radials developing on the edge of the axial corallites opening usually point towards sarmentosa, but without seeing a side profile its not a sure thing.

Finally a real identification. Things were getting bad in your absence. @Chaswood79 was identifying every SPS that wasn't a solid color as a tenuis.

What’s a Tenuis?
