I’ve had this colony since it was a tiny nub but never figured out what species of Acropora it is. Can anyone help me figure it out please?

Ps. Sorry for the terrible pictures. They were taken quickly with my phone.
Thank you

Enchinata possibly hard to tell from the pictures though.

Did it come off wild colony or just a unnamed frag? LFS?

acropora tortuosa would be my guess.
You can search pic on the web if it's similar to your colony.

I was thinking the same after my intial post, and honestly I’ve seen stuff grow a completely different structures due to lighting/flow/water chemistry. It’s almost splayed and with downward growth be interested if he has earlier or progression photos may help.
 
Thank you for the replies. I will try and get a better picture of it. In the meantime I do have a picture of it from a while ago as well.
