I need some help with an acro frag I picked up this week. It has a nearly pure white branch structure with deep purple tips. The mother colony had a lot of yellow, brown, and green I'm guessing from nutrient and lighting issues. I took a clipping of the healthiest branch.
From the branch structure and limited corallites, I'm guessing a deepwater species. Compared to the Pearlberry behind it(and all my other acros), the branches are very thick and smooth.
Any help is appreciated be it a popular name or scientific species!

Thanks all, I was back and forth between Granulosa like this one

or Loripes like this one

Either way, it's one of my favorites for sure. Seems to grow at a decent pace too.
