Please help me identify this sps.

I cut a small piece from my friend,he said it was a "blueberry",but I saw on forums that blueberry is usually "A. nasuta", and this doesn't look like it at all.

I'm not very good at identifying Acros, could someone help me identify it?

The last two photos were taken at his home.

If you're using primarily color to identify your acro, identification can be very frustrating. Using color and growth form can also be confusing. Corals can be quite variable in their apperance even in different locations in teh same system and can be influenced by small changes in environemnt.

It also doesn't help growers don't use any kind of standard for using common names for corals.

You're right.I compared them one by one on "Corals of the World",and my eyes were almost blinded.In the end,I give up. But I still want to know what it is and where it would be suitable to be placed.

Tortuosa

I have an Oregon tortuosa at the back,and I don't think they are similar.

 

[Krux]

it could also be A. gomezi or vaughani which have similar requirements.

Looks like a miyagi tort to me. I have the exact same coral.

Agree with tort, beautiful coral

I was shocked!The more I look at it,the more it resembles tortuosa; I originally thought this was some kink of "smooth skin".

Acropora austera

 

[thamnasteroid]

doesn't look like tort or austera given that its growth form looks to be caespitose or hispidose; looks to have retained its shape/not deformed pretty well though

I searched for pictures of Miyagi Tort on the forum, and I agree with you. Thank you for your opinion.
