Bought from a local shop today, the owner called it "branching montipora". It's a little more orange than the picture shows. Any ideas what the actual name might be? Thank you!

Looks like it could be a setosa but it’s hard to tell from the photo.

I agree with @SliceGolfer. I've never seen it before. Really nice color! Enjoy! It reminds me of Montipora hirsuta. That grows like a weed for me in my mixed reef between 100 and 150 par.

Keep us posted. People are always looking to add a deep red color to their reefs, and something different from setosa or digitata without the fussiness of acropora.

Already growing new white tips, feels like this one will be a fast grower

I thought montipora Hirsuta as well. Here's mine for reference.

Op could this be it?

I wanna say it's an Anacro based on the inclined corallites but the papillated coenosteum says otherwise. Oh well, Anacros derive from within Montipora anyways
