ID this Montipora

[chipchip]

Hi all,

i just bought this montipora a few minutes ago. Which one is it?

I will post new pictures when the coral is open again.
It could be Montipora hoffmeisteri, montipora millepora or montipora rainbow. The dealer held it under not that good conditions, maybe the coral will change its color.

That is actually Cyphastrea, possibly agassizi http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0439/view#

Thank you Frick! But is it possible that this is a Turbinaria irregularis ?

Yeah it's possible, http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0415/view#

But i guess my disagreements with that would be that Turbinaria will grow in plates and the corallites structure is different looking.
