a little, i guess. finger leathers are soft though and acros (and other SPS) are hard. i guess if you were just comparing pictures or had only ever seen one in real life they could look similar.
finger leather-

anyways, thats a great looking acro. hope it does well for you. i have one in my tank that grows like crazy and is bulletproof. its the only SPS that ive had do well for me.

acropora secale. there really only two common acro tri-color: valida's and secales. I'm almost 90% sure you have a secale.

WOW! If Stanlalee is correct that could color up to be dark purple with green polyps, of course with the correct lighting and tank parameters.

LOL it would be nice if it where that deep of a purple! i think its growing nicely.. the person i bought it from fragged a peice off and where he fragged it off is covered with purple and green dots..
