Acropora caroliniana i guess

I have an A. caroliniana and I don't think this is one. It to me kind of looks like an A. turaki. The shape of the coral is not the same though. Could also be an A. speciosa.

I couldn't see the 1st pic. ;(

 

[kevinpo]

I will offer a guess
Acropora carduus or Acropora subglabra both have a wide distribution and yellow/light green polyps.

yes, someone on Rc posted a pic of their look-a-like turaki's and this guy posted his A. speciosa. It looked amazing close to the turaki and in the bottlebrush form.
