Can anyone please help me identify this piece?

When I received it from a fellow reef keeper, it was dull and brown and dark green and only a few branches.
It has since taken off and colored up, but I have no idea even what species it is.

Hard to tell from that pic but looks to be either a WWC Yellow Tip acro or a tricolor valida. Not entirely sure.

Looks like acropora austera. Many different named varieties of the same species

I don’t think it’s any of the above, the only thing I can think of that’s similar is muricata but we really need a top down shot to get a better look at the base of the branches. Little to staghorn like to be valida, and definitely not an austera.
