Unresolved Acropora ID

Can anyone give me a name for this acropora? Thanks

 

scientific name or common name?

Is it ORA or anything like that...

 

Common name will work, no its not an ORA. Just would like to know what to call it other than the purple acropora. Unless that's it lol...

 

Looks like a Valida to me.

 

Agreed with Reef pets

 

I hate to disagree with people and I feel like a real ******* doing it, but it looks more like an A. austera to me.

I have one and I just call it purple austera. one of my all time favorites

 

doesn't bother me just gave my opinion.

 

I agree with A. Valida or A. Nana

alright... if thats what you all honestly believe then I secede.
but i just cracked open my copy of corals of the world by Jen Veron. I still think austera but im not going to argue since I know you guys have been in the hobby longer and probably have a lot more experience with naming.

vol. 1
austera p250
nana p354
valida p404
if you want to look also

 

Dingo,
No problem could very well be a austera. I tend to go with the shape of the corolites and then popularity or how common they are
