I can’t remember what acro this is. I remember putting a Battlecorals blue lighter in that spot, but I don’t know if that’s the same coral. I can’t remember if the blue lighter died or not.

Do the two photos match species-wise?

Invalida or maybe speciosa? Nice looking specimen at any rate. Definitely not tenuis.
 
Do you have a top down? I think it could be A. Tenuis or (Bifaria) now. It’s got an unusual growth for sure but this can happen under the right conditions. If it’s the same coral as the frag I’d say 100% Tenuis and with more time I bet it will show more characteristics of a Tenuis.

I can’t remember if it’s the same coral as the first pic. It’s in the same spot, though. I will take a top down now. My flow is kind of weird, so it’s 100% a possibility. It’s not the only (deformed?) coral I have.

I’d say it’s a Tenuis, imo. But could also be A. Striata.. there’s certain acros that make me think they might be hybrid Tenuis/Striata. SCOP, CC pink highlighter, vivid Insanity to name a few they seem to get the skinny growth and the long axial tips, could be either of the two species
 
looks like it to me. At first the long axial growth/corallite was throwing me off, but the radial corallites look like tenuis to me.

I believe this one may actually be the CC pink highlighter. That would be my best guess at least. But this is why I quit naming teni/biafra lol.
 
Top looks like tenuis (kenti/bifaria), bottom does not
