I got three frags of this is a trade today. I was told it’s Dragon Acropora but I think it looks more like a purple Milipora. I’m I off? I’m trying to determine lighting requirements for it. It has some green splashed in that you can’t see in the pics and has the milipora looking polyps.

Dragon acropora isn’t a thing that I know of. There’s dragon scale Spaths but they are dark green and gold. Looks just like a random tenuis brother. Enjoy it though that’s a huge chunky frag.
 
There is an acropora called red dragon. I believe it's a deepwater species. The frag is not a red dragon and I'm not sure on the exact species you have.

Yea legit red dragon is Acropora Carduus
 
Yeah red dragon is what I was referring to. I used to have one and it was nothing like this. It’s an awesome coral non the less and big for a frag. Just gotta figure out where to place it. It’s sitting in the shady area right now.
 
I believe that is Dragon slayer, if "dragon" is in the name...?
the guys are right that is one chunky frag.

Although I hope I am not breaking rules doing this so I will site this photo, from reefnjunkies my acro collection aka my obsession, page 13.
Your frag looks exactly like reefnjunkies frag maybe you should ask him..
