Is this Loripes?

If not, what’s the species? I’m bad with smooth skinned acros. Thanks!

Hard to tell with such short branches but I'd say more likely A. granulosa.

Looks like Battlecorals Skinny Love. Regardless, definitely in the loripes/rosaria/granulosa spectrum.

Here’s an ORA Skyline granulosa for comparison

Thanks! FWIW, it was labeled from TSA as “Green Bottlebrush Acropora”. It’s super vibrant but not really green and it was just an encrusted plug when I got it during a live sale.

Looks to be granulosa. Loripes and rosaria will have smaller radial corallites along the branches, whereas granulosa will have a few random radial corallites throughout the lower part of the branches. Loripes will usually have a small row of radial corallites on one side of the branch and rosaria will have them throughout the branch. I’ve usually found granulosa to have fewer radial corallites overall compared to the other two mentioned.
