Help with ID on this new release smooth skin acropora

[AquariumSpecialty]

Dane has been growing this one out from a frag for a long time and it has turned into a very nice colony. We are now selling frags of this but we would love to have a species ID if anyone can figure it out.

Unrelated but a little more eye candy that's about to go on the site. The top pic is a cyphastrea macro and the bottom pic is an acro that's about to take off.

echinata sp? Gorgeous!

I think you are correct about the species. echinata is the sp...Acropora is the genus.

May be you are right but it seems to be more of a turaki .. Acropora Turaki . Most famous Echinata - ORA Hawkins is actually believed to be a turaki .
May be an wrong but doesn't hurt to share views .

I like the acros when they are like that, fixing to take off. All the ones I've got like that have done really well. That kind of looks like a tricolor valida?
You can just go ahead and bag that one up, I'll pick it up tomorrow.

I'm not so sure that is either Echinata or Turaki, I would throw out there Acropora speciosa as a possibility as well. But then I could be wrong also.
