ID this colony?

[terrinstevereef]

We picked up this coral last friday and I was hoping I could get an ID.

Thanks in advance.

It could be, but needs a closeup of the corallites.

 

[Opsanus tau]

First impression is a maricultured Acropora parilis, that has been fragged, and growing in captivity for about 6mos.-to a year.

Note the barnacle in the first pic,...Mariculture
Note the thickness of the main vertical branches, it's "open -ocean- maricultured growth form",.,.then the small pointy growth/axial coralite,."bushes"(tank growth form) blooming from top, where I would guess it was cut/fragged,...........................wow,..too much coffee for me this morning!

Thanks, it is about 4 1/2 inches tall, and does have several barnacles on it, would you say it is looking ok? we have had it since last Friday.
