This coral was labeled as montipora. I’m certain it’s not, can I get an ID?

Definitely a Favites Pentagonal due to its shared corallite wall which is characteristic of Favites and differentiates Favia from Favites for the most part.
 
+3 Favites pentagona.
 
Thank you! I shall research it to find out more about its care, I bought it because it was mislabeled and 20$ seemed like a steal

Low light, moderate flow. It's a nice coral to watch grow. Once it settles in you'll start seeing feeding responses and it's pretty neat to watch it grab food.
 
Low light, so should I place him in a more shared area? I have a 120 watt LED, ocean revive, on my 32 gallon biocube so it's pretty strong
