Definitely not M. capricornis. True M. capricornis are almost never seen in the hobby. They are usually purple, have cup-like plates, and have undeveloped coenosteal ornaments (no papillae or tuberculae). They also have a “wave” texture on their coenoseteum.
Here are some photos from COTW for what they look like.

Now that im home and had a better look as it looked more pink, this is Tubbs stellata
 
I would not ID this coral down to the species so fast without having a good look at the coenosteum. There also are probably a few similar looking species, such as M. carinata.
