Interesting. It's hard to say at this point. If it was an LPS like Alveopora, each polyp will have 12 petals, and a goniopora will have 24 petals.

Mine has 12 tentecles so could it be Alveopora? Someone else has suggested that. I've searched the net several times but I could not find anything like mine. I looked up acropora nobilis but that is not it. May be when it gets little bigger I could tell.

This is how it looks when the polyps are extened. It looks very much like your green acropora nobilis.
