I think the Acropora comment was to be a joke. To me it looks like a staghorn

Thank's Tim. Yep, im planning to get my SPS tank running very soon that's why I'm in the market.
I cannot keep my softies and zoas in an SPS tank, it will not survive because the water would be clean. I tried it before , zoas didn't survive. So I'm cycling another tank for sps frags.

What was meant was Acropora SP. It is almost impossible to be 100% sure of an id of an Acro without killing it, bleaching the skeleton, and examining it under a microscope. For most people, they simply stop at "Acropora" then if they want tag something like "stag" to describe a growth shape.
That piece at an LFS around here could go for anywhere from $20-$60 depending on where you go. It is bigger than a Frag IMHO, usually frags are just 1 inch or less, without any branches.
