If it’s lps it’s alveopora, 12 points per polyp

But very possible it’s montipora also

It most probably is a montipora then . Just the polyp looks bigger than all the pictures I've seen . It was sold as a Monti so it's highly likely is .
Thanks for taking the time to reply .
 
Looks like plating monti to me. He is a picture of mine for comparison but pic is not great.

I picked it up out of the tank and it’s mad so it’s not extending as much as it typically does but the picture the OP showed looks like this astreopora to me.

Might actually be this . Looks very similar. I can't actually tell the difference tbh .
 
Between this and the montipora digitata.
The size of the polyps is different. The monti has teeny tiny polyps. Less than 1 mm. The astreopora polyps are about 2 mm in diameter.
