Is this acropora vermiculata?

[Jimmy James]

Hi this is very similar to my tenius but the polyps aren’t as long and the coralites seem more pinched as opposed to the ones on the tenius leading me think this is a vermiculata. Can someone confirm please?
Cheers
Jim

The branchlets are more evenly placed like one would see in a tenuis. I believe vermiculata are more irregular, individual branches that are uniform in length. My guess is that its a tenuis. But I could be wrong.

There’s a good chance that’s Vermiculata. Blue ones can be the hardest to acclimate ime, but are also one of the nicest acros. Good luck with that one

Thanks, the tissue does excrete some mucus when the tanks being feed. Not sure if that’s part of the coral acclimating?

I'm no pro at it but it sure looks like one. It will be easier to tell as it grows of course.
The tip coralite color change makes me wonder a bit, the ones I've had in the past did not have that but also weren't under LED. Unsure what your lighting is.
Nice either way!
