montipora capricornis in orange??? I have only a few corals and i am taking things real slow, tank has been running for a few years as a FOWLR and i have slowly improved it.

I got this for free, forgot the name and have no idea how to care for it. I have T5X6 lighting it located on the top of the water column of a 90 gallon. I have had to for about four months and it's growing. the leading edge seems to be growing down a little and underneath you see these little off shoots growing down. I thought this might be getting too much light. I searched here but could not find the very basic info I was looking for. But i am not even sure i am searching under the right name of the coral. I thought maybe someone could educate me a little.

do you have more flow below the cap, than over? flow is a major factor in how a cap grows. high flow on top of the coral will get tall growth.

the picture is washed out from the light, could be to much light too. hard to tell.
