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.

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...
