This was sold to me as a pumpkin pie monti.
It's not like any monti I've ever seen.
I thought it was a lps.
The little orange guy.

Looks more like a lepto to me

Got a link to any I can compare it to?

The hair like (polyps?) are always out and very soft and flexable. The move in the water with the current.
 
psammacora maybe?

Did a google seach and I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Even found a orange one that the picture came from somewhere, here on R2R.
 
Those that think it is a Leptastrea, show me a link to one that looks like this one.

I am not even familar with stony corals, but after doing a Leptastrea google picture seach I was not able to find any that looked even slightly close.
In fact all of the Leptastrea that I saw all had a pattern of ridges of some sort around what might be considered a mouth/eye?
