that looks like a nice tenuis....slightly saturated pic IMO though.

On a side note if one store in the states has one frag they call blueberry acropora why should you assume everyone knows it? If you google blueberry acropora there are lots of different corals being called blueberry acropora.

On the same note I have named some of my corals but I don't expect everyone to know what they are. Im not ranted just on the OP but I see this quite often. I mean some corals have been in the hobby a long time and are well known but ones like this one.....unless you went to reefhotspot and saw this frag for sale you would have no idea....and the chances of that are slim. I only know cause I googled it and saw the same pic amongst many other different corals.

as an example here is vivids "blueberry" acropora http://www.vividaquariums.com/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=12-1505

Hree is spikes "blueberry" http://www.spikescorals.com/Acropora/WYSIWYG-Spikes-Blueberry-Acropora/prod_1745.html

I could go on.

I have a small piece of that Acro I given it as a frag from a store about 4 months ago it was nothing special when it was given too me but slowly has coloured up and looks almost identical to that unfortunately it's not ready to frag and we are a ways apart. I tried to take a picture for you but my phone can not pick up the blues. good luck

I have one just called a Blue A. Tenuis. Has grown like a weed but sure wished it looked like this one.

That looks very similar to 'Joe the Coral' (Here is the Google image search (https://www.google.ca/search?q=joe+the+coral&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=nF1LUe6DAevqiQLEmoCwCg&sqi=2&ved=0CCwQsAQ&biw=1464&bih=816#imgrc=_)).

I have one very similar to that - Green base, bright blue to royal blue growth tips depending on the light and large polyps.

This one caught my attention from aquarium solutions so I bought it an hour ago. Hopefully it keeps its color under mitras.
