No. I believe this to be a Loisetteae or Parillis but I am leaning toward a Loisetteae. Nice piece and fast grower!!!

Hey, guys

Tks a lot for the replies. But don't you think pic fits more Verun's descriptions for nasuta than others:

"Characters: Colonies are irregularly corymbose with elongate tapering branchlets. Axial corallites are tubular. Radial corallites are usually in neat rows and are distinctively nariform in shape

Similar species: Acropora cerealis, which has interlocking branches and radial corallites with flaring lips. Acropora valida has appressed radial corallites. See also A. latistella and A. subulata, which have smaller branchlets and corallites."
