Acro ID please

Got this as a rescue project from a friend. It was a spindly single stick for about 6 months and then just exploded with growth. Hard to see but the base is yellow/green with vivid purple/red tips. Any ideas? Possible Raspberry Lemonade?

I am thinking it is Acropora tizardi. Which usually grows into think long sticks, but in high water flow in will cluster like yours. There are many other possibilities, but i am thinking A. tizardi for now.

The Raspberry Lemonade would have some lineage, and i think it is a different species than yours all together. Personally i would rather have the A. tizardi.

i'm thinking its an amazing coral... not sure what the actual name would be but lets just call it awesome

That thing is nice, not at all sure of its species but it doesn't have lineage so it does not have a trade name.

I'm interested in a frag though...

Thanks for the replies all! I'm really happy that it survived, it's definitely different than my other acros.

It does resemble some of the pics of A. Tizardi out there, but I can't be sure.

As far as frags go, I do have a small frag that broke off during my last water change. If anyone is interested shoot me a PM
