What kind of monti

[Guacamole]

Hi all this monti was sold to me as a green pines montipora Cap. Looking around online really didnt yield any results under that name, though from what i found it kinda looks like a stellata, but im still a noob and really have no idea. Anyone else have an opinion. thanks

This is definitely not a cap! It also doesn't look like your average digitata. Maybe not even a Montipora. The rest hard to see in the picture.

looks like Montipora hispida. nice piece.

I would expect the hispida to be more plating then branching.
Are the polyps neon green?

That's a elkhorn montipora; it's an easy to care for montipora that branches and plates in an unusual way.

Thanks again for all the input. I have not seen a piece like this so it was an easy buy, also its not the typical "green" color that i see around here. I dont think it is an acctual "ora" elkhorn, but it is something like it from what i can tell.
