Definitely appears to be some type of montipora species, as mentioned above, could be and definitely appears to be M. Spongodes and not a Green Goblin Anacropora. We have fields of both types of corals growing in the facility, and the difference is apparent as it grows out and mature colors show. The Green goblin will branch (thinly though it can be thick in higher flow and lighting) and won't encrust whatsoever. The spongodes will eventually plate out similar to a monti cap, and also can form thick branches. Based on the "bushiness" of the polyps, structure and encrusting, I would bet its a Monti
I'm sorry, but you really need to offer the lowest conditions to even try to achieve that growth pattern from an Anacropora sp. That is, by the pictures you've show here, a Montipora sp. Most likely the common Montipora spongodes.
That’s a tubs Stella! A really cool piece that is under valued in my opinion@HudsonReefer2.0
I change my mind. I think you are right. Montipora stellata I think.
