Please i.d this monticap?

[powerlogix]

Hey guys,

Been lurking here for over a year mainly looking for information. I have what I believe is a monticap I recieved when I picked up some live rock from a hobbyist. My question is I've been trying to I.D what type it is, since I cannot seem to find what type it is or if it is common monticap or not. Let me know what you guys think. Also a quick picture of the 20gallon reef. : )

Looks like Turbinaria to me.

I use the search button when I can late at night and stumped that I can't I.D this thing.

After searching around for pictures of a "Turbinaria." I think that may be it.

Agreed 101%..............T. Reniformis alright!

Also agree: turbinaria, and a nice specimen.

All Turbinaria I've seen in plating form have their polyps on the leading edge of the plate. Monti caps do not have this, plus Montipora polpys seem to be much smaller than Turbinaria polyps.
