My first guess was that too but the coralites are more spread out than any tenuis I've seen so I don't think so unless it's due to reticulate evolution. I have been having some dificulty with the id on this one since even when I "turkey baste" it the polyps won't go in much so it's hard to tell what the actual skeletal structure is like. Interestingly enough it does have a serial # and date on the bottom of it's base from when it was maricultured but I doubt I will be able to trace it. Even if I could they would likely just say that it is an acropora of some kind. I will do some research when I get some time and I will get a positive id.
