Scientific name for pink lemonade Acropora

Does anybody know what the scientific name of the pink lemonade acropora is? I am looking to buy a pink lemonade look-a-like. Also does anyone know where the pink lemonade originated from (fiji, soloman islands, bali)?
Thanks!

I believe (and don't quite me here), it's Acropora nasuta or something similar, although I do question those places that come up with these names as to whether or not they know what they're talking about when mentioning a scientific name.

I was thinking it was nasuta too. I was just doing some research and found out it came from the Soloman islands.
