It's always tough to ID acropora, there are close to 400 species and they all grow differently depending on many factors. I'm sure someone will have a good guess, but in my tank it would be the "blue acro with green base"

I couldn't tell you the name of more than 2 pieces in my tank. -lol

Haha I call it by color a lot too. But I woul love to know the actual name for it but not the scientific name those r always too hard to remember lol. This acro has green polyps as well and the top is more purple than blue. Quite a beauty
