You got yourself one of them Limited Edition Appleberry Montiporas there sir. Most likely an M. capitata. High flow makes it thicker and more encrusting. Less flow and it will branch up and out thinner.

I agree with Montipora capitata. I just got a frag last month. Neat coral

The first Tyree LE coral I got was the X-Factor “Cap” that was green base blue polyp and so easy to grow. I still appreciate it in the right setting today.

I wouldn't say it's capitata; as far as I know, that species is a Hawaiian endemic
