Wild Australian Acropora Identification

[sheel be right]

got this sweet colony for $10 aud, had it for about 2 weeks and is doing nicely, need some help with the species name however, i don’t really care about what the color variety name is, only the species. gives off a really nice aqua marine/bright teal look. i’m almost certain it’s a tenius but it could be a plana.

all pics except the second last one where taken using a polyp lab lens filter.
