Variolosa has much sharper corallites, no? Doesn't look like verweyi to me either. I think globicep corallites are more cup-shaped.

The more I look the more I think it's acropora loripes.

I would let things settle for a while at this point. Your tank has gone through a rollercoaster, so let it be for a while. You can maybe add some calcium (should not precipitate out), but I...
