I would greatly appreciate an ID on this one. I purchased it online and it was supposedly an Acropora Samoensis from Australia. However after I did some research I have become more confused. After looking online it seems like it might be an Acropora Sarmentosa. The only thing that makes me wonder is that the tips and the growth formation does not look like a Sarmentosa. I would appreciate any expertise and help to ID this one. It is still acclimating in my tank and is slowly coloring up.

Strawberry Fields Acro (Sarmentosa). Looks bleached out. Once it colors up, it should have a greenish base with pink tips.

This is mine:
