Pretty small still so it really is too hard to tell accurately. It looks like it may be an A. horrida or A tortusa judging by the smoothness of the coral's tissue. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable then me can chime in.

It is a horizontal growing Acro if that helps. In the shop it had a light purple tint.

A bit too small, but if it is a tabling species, it may be A. plana.

You know, it does look like either A. plana, or A. desalwii. Personally, I think the former.

I'll place my nickel on a tenuis, it's just a guess. We'll see when it grows a bit.
