Montipora - Encrusting or Plating Form?

[Bato367]

Does anyone know if these montis grow in an encrusting or plating form?

Thank you!

The tree flower petal plates in my tank. The others look like they encrust but I don't have them.

I ordered a monti mystery pack.

I actually don’t know for a fact these are what I have. Just the best I could tell, it was these. I figured out of 4 there would be at least one plating type :/

Nice . Do you mind sharing a photo? Just curious to see one grown out.

I was never able to get mine to look amazing, but it definitely plated, lol. I was mostly paying attention to anemones instead of SPS.
