Acropora i think, but i dunno the specie.

Definitely an Acropora sp., but I am not about to attempt to identify it, especially just from a picture. Sorry.

 

[trueblackpercula]

I looks like a tort to me but I am always wrong hehehehehe,

Trueblackperc,

Can you take another photo? This photo is so dark I can barely make out the corallites structure. Maybe a close-up too. That way I can give a much better guess on what this might be.

Have a great day,

Trueperc,

This could be (as someone mentioned above) A. hoekesemai as the corallites somewhat resemble this species but I really can't make it out clearly enough to give you a good ID.

I hope that it does well for you...

Thanks for the info chris

Only reason I'd consider a hoek is the sparatic growth pattern that most give off.

It looks awefully like a heok, and seeing the colouration, I would say it a heok...
