Just picked up this acro from the LFS I had been eyeing it for a few weeks now. Does anyone have an idea on the species? I think I remember them saying it was a tenuis but I’m not sure.
acropora species?

Possibly acropora tenuis. Very nice!
Yup, a tenuis.

Thanks!
Can’t wait to see this one grow up

The branching seems thin for a tenuis and the coralites are small and somewhat odd shaped for one too. But it could be I am not an expert. How is that coral standing up on such a tiny frag plug? Looks like it's about to fall over 
Looks like one from png more than Aussie or indo, could just be where it was grown though. Colors certainly match the standard tenuis.

Agree, it is tenuis. Here is a skeleton structure of the tenuis.Just picked up this acro from the LFS I had been eyeing it for a few weeks now. Does anyone have an idea on the species? I think I remember them saying it was a tenuis but I’m not sure.
Papua new guinea, not saying it is from that area, just looks like the growth that tenuis corals in that region show more than Aussie or indo which are normally thicker branches or tighter clustering or both.
