Had this blue stag frag for a few months and has grown well. Now up to about 5" and entrusting like crazy.

Not really a problem, but the ridiculous polyp extension has been the blunt of many a viagra joke. Mother colony from a friend looks like a typical staghorn. This guy thinks hes a millipora. I've actually moved it across different tanks with high flow, low flow and way different nutrient levels. No change. Puts out new nodes daily so again I'm not complaining, but it is weird.

I have the same kind of issue with a pink lemonade acro. Insane poyp extension. It's growing well though so I'm happy.
 
Nice PE ! Doubtfully milliepora, have a pic of the mother or yours with polyps retracted?
From what I can see I'd start comparing it with Acropora parilis or loisettae
 
Mother colony looks like a typical staghorn with little PE. Blue stag is common in my area and lots of SPS keepers around here have massive colonies of it. My first instinct is to feed fuzz-ball here some phyto, but it's now in a low nutrient tank and the color is good along with growth.
