I was thinking it is either Acropora austera or formosa, but wanted some second opinions. Thanks

Now that you mention it, it does look like a tort. I didn't even think about it cause the Lfs had it labeled as a stag. Thanks again!

Many of the so called "torts" actually are A. Austera. Torthas been thrown around far too much, often not referring to A. Tortuosa the species.

Even A. Vaughani do look alike

I don't think it is either.
I'm leaning towards A. gomezi. That is little more than a guess though. The axial's on your coral don't look as elongated as in Veron's examples, but there could be many factors effecting that. There are a few other similar species which come to mind - visually- but I can't remember the names of at the moment...
