What is this Acro?

[rickyrivera1]

I'm trying to find a name so i can find a piece of it. I love how blue this thing is:

Any idea?

the 1st thing i thought when i saw this beautiful acro is A.chesterfieldensis ,ive seen them come in from Tonga and Australia with this color morph., But it does resemble A. bushyensis to me , any idea where it came from?

No idea about it...I'm trying to find out as much as i can just so i can get a piece.

Thanks for the help so far...

I don't think it is a A. bushyensis. The above picture has radial corallites which are immersed within the coenosteum. A. bushyensis has radial coralllites that are short, tubular and outward facing.

But then looking at the right side of the coral in the picture, I can see some corallite formation. I still think it may be either A. cylendrica or A. togianensis.

For reference, this is my A. cylendrica:

First I think the photo has been colored in photoshop, second I think it looks a little like a very unhappy millepora thats been given too little flow for a while.

Just thinking outside of the box....
