Picked up this little guy from a new LFS in my area yesterday. Picture does not do it justice. All the green areas are actually more towards the yellow tone. Anyone have any ideas on what it can be?

It's small, but it could be these three possibilities;

Acropora caroliniana if it tables. I am not too sure tho because the tips would be pointier.

Acropora granulosa does have a green variant, but the branches are usually thicker. Also tables but can get grow taller than caroliniana. http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0033/view#

Acropora multiacuta. Does not table, grows in upright clumps. Branches come off a center base not each other. Blunt tips on the branches. This one seems to be coming more common in the aquarium trade.
