A. Gomezi
From Vernon

Characters: Colonies are arborescent with straight tapered branches forming thickets. Sub-branches form at obtuse angles. Axial corallites are prominent and tubular. Radial corallites are small and curved near branch tips, becoming tubular further down branches where they project perpendicularly and are only slightly curved. These become incipient axial corallites which have small pocket-shaped radial corallites around their bases. All corallites have thick walls with rounded openings.

#1...Sub branches from at obtuse angles
... yes

#2...Axial corallites are prominent and tubular
...yes... (I think at least those I can see)

#3...Radial corallites are small and curved near branch tips, becoming tubular further down branches where they project perpendicularly and are only slightly curved.
...?...This ones hard to tell from the picture.

#3A...These (radial corallites) become incipient axial corallites which have small pocket-shaped radial corallites around their bases.
...?... from the picture it looks as though this could be true but then I think watching it grow and mature might aid in making that observation.

I would exclude A. tortuosa from the list of possibilities based on not only the "look" but Vernon description.
