Hello,

This is a photo of one of my favourite corals, took on my previous SPS dominant reef tank (current reef tank started about a year+ ago).

I am highly interested to get a frag of that same coral, but do no know what is it exactly. Could you please assist to identify?
 
Looks like an acropora tenuis.
I am not sure.
Its skeleton shape is somewhat more narrow and round, and the polyps shape also looks different that Tenuis.
 
It’s a tenuis. Growth patterns can vary in different flow and light conditions.
 
Its a completely new strain. Frag a little tiny piece for Millions!
 
I think it's a tenuis too but given that there are almost 200 known species of acropora and very few names known in the trade it's hard to make a definitive call. It would likely be labelled as tenuis by any seller or collector.
