I am trying to identify the species of acropora in the picture. It is blue in color with highlighter green polyps. I have had it for almost a year and have not been able to identify it.
Thanks in advance.

I saw a post a while back about a Jason fox blue bottlebrush acro that had neon green polyps. Looked a lot like that.

Blue ice Acropora tenuis. Ballpark guess
 
The only way to ID a coral species is through Veron's 'Coral ID' - this requires a microscopic exam of a naked skeleton. With that said, it is possible that the coral vendor has done this and provides a positive ID.
 
I am including a couple of less blue light images of the acropora for your consideration.
Again, thanks in advance for the help.

Thank you!!
I did a Google images search and I believe that you are correct. It looks almost exactly like mine.
Thanks again.
