ID this Monti Or Cyphastrea

[Setlock13]

Local reef club is stumped; was sold to me as rainbow monti, which it is definitely not.

Thanks for your help everyone!

For comparison I have some montis in my collection that the club and I were using for comparison

The 2nd pic in the collection pic is a rainbow monti I bought from WWC. Are there just multiple types of rainbow montis?

Different tank biology can greatly affect the coloration of corals. My superman table is suppose to be red and blue. It's completely green in my tank and I know the pictures I bought from were for real, so go figure.

I have Green, Yellow, Orange, and tiny bit of red. before I put my new lights in my monti was basically red and not happy
