best guess?

My guess for this piece is Acropora Desalwii. (Veron <Corals of the world> pgs 370/371) Anybody out there have any better guesses?
Maybe even A granulosa?
I have been trying to create an inventory of my sps and this is one I'm stuck on. Any educated guess work would be appreciated.

I know it was aquacultured in Indonesia. Growth pattern is it encrusts with a bright green edge that turns purple and then tables out like in the picture.
Thanks,

Re: best guess?

Greg, can you get a frontal shot of this coral?? I think it's one of the solitaryensis/efflorescence type acropora. They grow in a flat fashion and then grow upwards branching type nodules. I am saying this due to the small spaces I am seeing inbetween some areas in this coral. I have the solitaryensis from Tyree and it is an awesome coral. They are also known for the colored rim.
