Help ID this acro please.

hey everybody, I just bought this acro the other day because it looks awesome and was growing and opening up very nice, only problem is the place I got it from didn’t know the name of it, they did say it was an acro but didn’t know the type, I was hoping maybe someone here knows what it’s called and if they have pics of it in there tank thriving I would be very happy.

Maybe a pocillopora, but looks like a birdsnest more.

That does not appear to be an Acropora. It IS an sps but not sure of the type. Pocillopora Or stylophora is my best geuss. Hopefully someone here can help you out more

Seriatapora are more pointy

+1 on pocillopora or stylo

While seriatopora guttatus can have rounded tips unlike hystix which has pointed tips, the polyps look like pocillipora to me. I vote pocillipora. They can become a nuisance

I was looking at the Pocillopora and the green stylo and it looks super close to a stylo, the Pocillopora doesn’t have as many polyps at the stylo
