Got this from Aqua Man 07 but he wasn't sure what kind of acro it was. Anyone got any idea on the ID?

Looks like a tenuis, maybe a blue green.

Might want to ask farmer for his opinion but looks similar to roscoes.

Thanks guys. I think I'll post this in the SPS forum and see if I can get a few more responses. I know it's still pretty small which doesn't help.

Possibly. It was on an ORA plug originally but I'm not sure if it was truely an ORA peice. Can you verify this Aquaman?

I think I really just need to let this grow out a bit before I can get a good ID.

ID is based on more than just color. Polyp shape, size and placement all come into play. Color may vary to a degree under different lighting but growth paterns for a specific species will remain the same. So far I'd have to say this looks closest to roscoe's.
