ID on my new acro

[Kmsutows]

Can anyone help ID my new acro? Pic is from when I just added it to my tank. It actually has really long polyp extension.

Can I post a picture from the vendor I bought it from on here?

^ sure.

Also an image top down might help me narrow it down. It could be Acropora spathulata, or it might be a Millopora but I need a top down.

Edit: look at Acropora abrolhosensis as well.

Thanks for the reply... I think I'd have to go with Acropora abrolhosensis!

Here's the vendor pic. It's hard to capture the color with my phone camera.. and I'll admit it doesn't look quite as good but I blame my LEDs

Yes, it pretty chunky, so I ruled out Formosa. It's beautiful hope it does well for you.

Looks like an Aussie Blue Flame Stag. Let me know if you ever want too frag

Looks like a Abrolhosensis to me too, Spathuala aren't usually that shape.
Stags have more pointy tips, so I don't think its a stag.

Not all stags have the usual sharp tips

^ I saw that one as well and it looks almost identical. Vendors commonly throw the Stag name tag on corals that grow in that type of formation regardless of the scientific name.

Tahoe is right in the first post
Is a spathulata
Give it much light and flow

 

[Kmsutows]

It looks exactly like the piece from unique corals. I found that yesterday. They do have a couple with that same name that don't look anything alike though

 

[Bacon505]

That's a spathulata

Abro has very thick branch with more dome shape corallites, it is a spatulata
