I have seen three different species of Montipora called "Superman". This would be a situation where show names can be harmful. In the sense that you could potentially get bad info about this Montis husbandry because you have a different "Superman" than the person giving you advise.

The first looks maricultured and i would guess it is Montipora nodosa.

For the second it look like a Montipora verruculosus mounted sideways.
