Okay, I take that back. It might be an Alveopora.

But definitely not a montipora? If it’s not montipora, that’s okay. Then I have a cool Alveopora encrusting on my overflow. That’s okay too

either Montipora or Alveopora

I still say alveopora

The lash count is right for Alveopora.

I have one just like that that I've never got a positive ID on either! Different colors though. Green polyps with a bluish base.
Does yours look like this?

Remember that many other corals have a tentacle count of 12, including Montipora.

That’s a really gorgeous Alveopora! Mine does not look like that in person though. The polyps on yours are extending much farther than the ones on my frags are. The polyps on mine extend maybe 1-2mm from the base.

Ok, I thought they were the same from your pics. I have seen the polyps on spongodes get pretty inflated as well.

Googling the suggested alveopora minute, I found this... looks pretty close to yours, no?
