Thats a second vote. I also think so far this is the best possibility. Though I am having a hard time getting good for sure pics of the florida.
That's because everything in Florida is dead thanks to the cruise ships. :zany-face:
At first glance I see a stag but I can also see where tortuosa can be argued.

In the trade it used to be called "neon or highlighter".

I have not seen acropora florida with purplish/blue growth tips so that is why I didn't think florida.
I think I need a bigger tank to own a few more sps for enriching my sps knowledge:beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Doing more research and finding a really nice overseas site Thank you @MissMolly I believe this to be acropora sp. Not sure exactly what that means as if I am not mistaken when they are named like that it means they have not been put into another "sub category" yet?

"sp." is just abbreviation for 'species' - it's not specific to one particular unnamed type. It's used both for yet-to-be-described species but also unidentified species (like when genus is known but not species).
It is strange that all the acropora sp on the sight I found have the same or very close to same corallite and polyp structure, which closely match mine.
