I was curious if anyone could help me with the species type on this one? Based upon the structure of the large colony it came from, I believe it is tabling... But I could be wrong. Thanks.

Acropora hoeksemai? I have it, and looks almost identical with yours...

Looks like A. hoeksemai, but is short and tabling. Hoek will be a stag,

I am thinking possibly A. macrostoma.
