Help identify plate coral

[Oliver77]

I have had this capricornis for about a year and a half , very slow grower. I have no idea what type of cap it is .....

well, that definitely doesn't look like any monti or monti cap I know....looks more like merulina or even pavona sp.

Maybe Pachyseris rugosa

Its a really unique coral , the one I have is the only one I've seen.... It has a tan base with white edges and a green hue.... it kind of looks like a brain coral . Its also known as the elephant skin coral... You learn something new everyday lol !
