Need help to identify this acro

[tang_man_montreal]

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.

Thank you!

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 second both comments...
WWC Yellow Tips / CB Icecap
Acropora Austera

Yes, defiantly not a tricolor valida.

Thanks all,
I agree it's not a valida, as I have a tricolor valida nearby.

Definitely seems to be an Austera after looking at comparison pics.. Thanks you !

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.
