Acro Identification

[MikeyUU]

Oops, posted this in the general sps forum instead of the identification one at first.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this acro frag I picked up recently. I'm mainly interested so I know the growth pattern and can place it accordingly. It has green polyps which cannot be seen well in the pictures, does not appear to have pits where its polyps extend, instead it is really smooth. I know the other frag in one of the pictures is a Seriatopora. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

It's really too small to get a close ID. I would start with Acropora tortuosa.

I can ID the plug, it's eShopps.

I guess time will tell what exactly it is. The gap between polyps seems larger than on tortuosa to me. Any thoughts on it being granulosa.

I was gonna say granulosa as the end of the branch is more rounded like this structure rather then a tort
Torts are hard to find unless they are aquacultured

So I have seen granulosa growing in a tabling style. Do all?

Now this coral is turning bright green. Looking much more like a ORA green velvet. Not sure if this is what it is, and I expect its color to continue to change since it's only been in my tank for a couple weeks. But it absolutely glows under actinics now.
