I'm going to go waaaay out on a limb and posit a Jason Fox Fox Flame (but I am by no means an SPS expert).

Can we try some white light pics? All I can see is an acro bathed in blue.

Fox flame is red(magenta) with yellow tips. Most certainly not that.

 

[chipchipbro]

here we go

Much better pic, and certainty not a fox flame.

I honestly have no idea, I'm not up on the hobby names anymore. If it looks good, I buy it, could care less what the name is.

Doh, this should teach me to go off memory...

They should be able to tell you.

I have a piece that I bought at the local shop (cheap) that had no name and looks just like it and is growing well - so will be interested in the guesses here

Reminds me of my tidal garden blueberry fields

 

[old salt reefer]

how about blueberry fields (acropora austera)

I will just call mine austera and be very content with that - thanks

 

[Charlie’s Frags]

Austera looks correct to me

 

[Sweet Reef Corals]

Austera looks correct to me

I can see Austera but it also resembles a Granulosa with that smooth, puddling encrustation.

 

[chipchipbro]

thanks for all the responses guys! highly appreciated.

So it has def. a nice smooth skin.. looks fantastic imo

Another possible candidate
My limited experience with granulosa had knobbier tips but we’ll just have to wait and see how she matures

Corallites resemble granulosa more than austera. The radial corallites of austera are larger and probably double the number of granulosa. Plus, the axial corallites of granulosa are more round, whereas austera is a little flatter.
