Montipora identification please

[ykz_]

Hello, I was told this was a montipora but was unsure if it was encrusting or plating. Can you guys help me identify it please?

Montipora capricornis? Plating.

I hope so! Otherwise I'd feel bad for gluing it on the rock

I'd also say it's a M. capricornus.
If the polyps are red in color, it would be a cap. But if the polyps are white in color, it could be a M. hodgsoni. Either way, it's a plating coral so you're good with glueing it on the rock like you did.
