I dislike id posts but I'm going to send one out there. I am pretty bad with coral names more so with sps than most others. So on to the question is this tenuis?

Sorry if the pic is bad looks ok on my phone so that usually means it's pretty bad actually....lol
 
Im not great at identification via a scientific name....but it doesn't look like a tenuis. I'm sure someone here can nail it.
Yeah I am not great at it either obviously.


I looked at a few tort pics I think not sure the coralites look the same? A lot of the pics look as if they are more "ordered" I guess and mine appear more random...I don't know if I'm saying that right.
 
Hey at work color is accurate its a bit unfocused though. Getting better.
Anyone else got an idea? or confirmation on tort?
 
Uhuo, but from the growth form and corallites it looks like it could be in the austera family.

... or maybe a floridia
 
Some of the floridia look to be fuzzy enough but the growth looks a little different but this is the closest yet. Thank you.
 
I basically just want to see what it is so I can try and find more in different colors. Its doing really well in my tank so that means its pretty easy lol. This thing has doubled almost tripled in size in 4-6 months! and has started getting those cool blue growth tips as well. This coral is a confidence booster for me.
 
It looks like either acropora aspera or acropora loisettae to me based on as much I can see from your pic.

Here are the pics from websites that may look like your piece.

Thank you.
Yeah I didnt realize the pic was as bad as it was. Coloring on the top pic looks very close, and corallite structure looks close also, though mine is fuzzier. Maybe I can get a better pic of it at some point.
