I have several of these acro colonies growing in my reef. Can someone identify it for me?

It is best described as a moderately fast growing bright green to yellow-green acro with white growth tips. As a point of reference, the green coral to the left of it is a slimmer.

It grows more “out” than up, but is not really a true table. Any educated guesses or even “trade” names for it?

It "looks" like ORAs Frogskin Acro. But if you did not get it with that lineage than it cannot be. So no show names unless it came with one.

Species I would say Acropora austera.
