What do you think?

Don't think so. Acropora Yongei looks more like a green slimer, but with blue tips. Yours looks a lot less fuzzy.

Yah noticed that after posting

I am keeping it at high light for now and see what happens. I will put some fancy name later

Any resemblance to this? Has blue tips and light colored base.

The structure does look similar to the one I have.

Here's another pic, showing the base color a bit better.

Been trying to ID this one for a while. Closest I found was this frag Mad Jelly was selling a while back. They called it an Ice Fields Tenuis.

The first answer was right. It's an acro. That's probably as close as you're going to accurately get. It needs high light. All acros need high light. Barring the deep water acros, which have a distinct look. Which, BTW, I also keep in high light.
