I got this from my last Sunday I was wondering what kind of sps it was. really nice blues in it. pic doesn't do it justice. I have it in the top of the tank in mod to high flow. if you could care requirements also if I need to change anything. thanks for the help

It's certainly an Acropora, but I couldn't go much further than that . . . Keep in mind that an awful lot of corals come in from the wild, or get fragged out of other reefers' displays and just don't have names . . . Was this one sold to you as a named coral?

It would be pure speculation to accurately identify the piece based on the frag size and coloration. Based on what I see it could be a Nasuta or Tenuis. Looks like it's encrusting nicely.
 
ya it looked nice color and entrusting. not a lot of polyp extension out yet though. it was not labeled at the lfs. is it good where I have it in the tank? seems to be good so far. thanks for the help
