I’d say it looks like a stag to me.

Very cool growth form, not familiar with it off the top of my head. Name it whatever you want, but why are we naming a pic of a coral you found online? I would like to see a normal shot of it under good lights with no gel filter before I take a shot at naming it.
Looks like it's tabling and a nice thing branching type coral. But the branches could be looking more upward than it looks like. I wouldn't call it a stag though. I think of thick long branching, with coralites that form randomly and spaced out when I think staghorns.

Looks pretty much like a tort.
Many corals grow sideways when the light is too low. Then you crank the lights up and they turn upwards. It's just something to consider.

Got a coral from a local reefer that was breaking his tank down when I got it it was bleached white now after a few months it’s starting to get purple/ blue tips with a bit of green polyps. But still have some brown on it where and there.

Looks like a tenuis mated with a Jacquelinee (probably spelled wrong).
I see growth change like that moreso with flow, and growth growing into it or away from it.
I do see what the options meant by name I think. You want the sientific name so you can look for that species in the future or something?
