This one needs to grow out much more to get a better idea. It's too small, there's not enough Acro there to tell what it is? The only thing I see to go by are the blunt tips, which look like Acropora humilis. When they are smooth like that with out defined corallites it usually means then need some water flow and time to grow out.

I have the exact same looking frag too. I mean carbon copy. I was told it was cut from a GARF bonsai but the person who fragged it has never been able to get them to grow any way other than "blob' like. I have had it for a year almost and still its a blob that is spreading out rather than branching. I'm thinking I may have to blast this thing with flow to get some branches out of it but don't have any great real estate for it yet. I'm leaning towards them being A. Secale but without any defined coralites we'll never really know.

Yeah usually stronger water flow gets Acropora to stop being so shy.
