Goni!

Hmm it was sold to me as a encrusting montipora .
How sure are you it's a goni?

I'm not sure at all but it resembles every goni I've ever seen?!

This is what I found on the internet! I had a frag of it but they don't live well in my tank

Yes I think you could be correct, some type of flowerpot coral !
Thanks for taking the time to help out .

If it’s lps it’s alveopora, 12 points per polyp

But very possible it’s montipora also

It most probably is a montipora then . Just the polyp looks bigger than all the pictures I've seen . It was sold as a Monti so it's highly likely is .
Thanks for taking the time to reply .

This looks like an astreopora. This form is encustring. They’re a little more forgiving than gonis and behave more like encrusting montis. Cool piece!

Looks like plating monti to me. He is a picture of mine for comparison but pic is not great.

I’m changing my Id to montipora

My rainbow monti has polyps like this also.

It’s hard to tell the size from the original pic

Are these polyps very small?

 

[crazyfishmom]

I picked it up out of the tank and it’s mad so it’s not extending as much as it typically does but the picture the OP showed looks like this astreopora to me.

 

[MoshJosh]

Astreapora is my first guess, though the polyp density appears higher than in specimens I have seen. . . still I vote astreapora!!!

Yes that was what it was listed as . You are probably correct thank you .

Might actually be this . Looks very similar. I can't actually tell the difference tbh .

Between this and the montipora digitata.

 

[crazyfishmom]

Between this and the montipora digitata.

The size of the polyps is different. The monti has teeny tiny polyps. Less than 1 mm. The astreopora polyps are about 2 mm in diameter.

 

[steveschuerger]

I’d put money on Astreopora as well. I’ve got a little cluster and the polyps look the same if less dense

Well the polyps are deffo bigger than 1mm . Probably an astreopora then . Thanks

Astreopora, based on the tentacles being split up into two cycles
