My brother in law gave me his old Nikon D3200 and I picked up a used Tamron 90mm Macro Lens to try this whole macro photography out. Here's my first few attempts:

I agree. Your coral looks like a bottlebrush acropora species very comparable to my RMF Aqua Glacier. Bottlebrush corals are known for dense, tightly clustered side branches that look like bottle brushes. Hawkins would have much thinner, distinctively different branches in my experience.

My green bottlebrush. Super consistent.
