Unknown Acropora

[selje]

Hi there.

I wonder if some of you can help me with this one. It was imported as Acropora Parapharaonis, but I don't believe it is. It's the brown with blue tips and green polyps I wonder about.

I'm pretty sure the one in the back is A Caroliniana. Not sure if this is a Turaki. I have one Turaki and that is not similar at all. The branches are thinner. And I believe this one is "smoother" if you know what I mean.

Here is my Turaki (the purple to the left):

Lokani Usually has thicker tips, like the example given. This look more like Echinata tips.

Could the blue one be Acropora Carduus?

Here's a new photo from above. Someone who know?

That is pretty sweet, almost looks like each tip is grafted. At this point I have no idea.
