Help with ID (acro)

Hi!

Does anyone here have a clue what species of Acropora this is? My recent guess is some type of garf bonsai but I'm not quite sure on that. It has recently started to branch out again from a setback due to a new tank that has had issues with basically non existing nutrients.

Beautiful acro! Looks like a granulosa.

Thanks, seems to be it

Not a Granulosa. More likely A. Turaki or even Tortuosa is possible

Hmm.. I looked back in time from when I bought the colony from another hobbyist. He claimed it was a gomezi. As you say @lemonade it seems not to be granulosa now looking a lot at pictures of those from both hobby and the wild.

Turakis corallites seems bigger than on this colony tho..

Is that a Hawkins Echinata?

Here's a better picture from tonight...

From that top down I would say Gomezi is a definite possibility, or still maybe Tortuosa
