This picture

Was excellent as it shows clearly the shape, size, and density of the coralites! This narrows it down to two possibilities.
This is what I think you have.
A. scherzeriana

Here is a better pic showing the coralites of scherzeriana.

However, the coralite shape and density also agrees with this species.
A. schmitti

Let me know what you think.
Hope this helps.

i'm not definitely sure, but it looks like Acropora scherzeriana because i saw several other colonies of the same type in the coral shop are IRREGULAR & INFORMAL in shape. A. schmitti is more regular in shape.
thanks, n8ureman

No problem. Just in case you wanted to read the description of A. scherzeriana, here is the address to the website:

I think you will find some interesting, and hopefully useful information.

Acropora austera for sure... just needs to grow a few more branches to look the real deal
