This coral has a very interesting growth. It has very few polyps but they are out all of the time. It is intense florescent under the LED blues. Looked in the usual sources with no luck the supplier gets most of his stuff wild from Australia.

Thanks!

I have something similar and I think mine is acropora aculeus. There are a bunch of pictures on Google images.
 
My guess would be Acropora jacquelineae if you bought it with he horizontal branches grown in. It looks like it is adapting to your lighting and water flow by shooting upright branchlets off the main branches. Is that what happened?

It came in that way. Wow this coral is on the red list:
