Like the title says...can anybody help me ID this furry acro? Picked this frag up this weekend as an impulse buy, price was right and I loved the shaggyness. Does anybody have an idea of what it is? Loving the polyp extension. Base/branches seem purple while the polyps are a green-brown.

Could be a long shot as I don't really know my SPS, but maybe it's a Tricolor staghorn?

Is there a better way to post photos than directly attaching them to posts? Photo shows up clear on my phone but quality must reduce when posting.

Tenuis have more defined coralites than this. This piece has small round bumpy coralites from what I can see and the color and long polyps remind me of a horrida. Look up horrida on aims and compare to what you have op. People I’d things as tenuis so often now. It used to happen often but now with this tenuis fad going on corals get mixed up with tenuis so often. I would suggest basting the coral to push the polyps in so we can se the structure of the skeleton better. This is the only way we can attempt to ID it with any accuracy.

After doing a bunch of searching it looks like this may be something like an ORA Chips or ORA Bellina...hard to tell since both of these were discontinued and there arent a lot of pics, but they seem pretty darn close.
