Help identify coral

If I had to guess, I'd say montipora
Montiopora is an SPS meaning they have small polyps, the picture of this coral has large polyps, (I’m not trying to say that in a jerk mood lol) some corals may be hard to tell but small polyp stony corals have so small of polyps, you can barely see them

For example acropora and pocillopora look hairy, but all of the hairs are small polyps

On the other hand, trumpet corals have large, puffy polyps

Pic. 1 is an sps coral called pocillopora (not sure on the spelling lol)

Pic 2 is an Lps coral called trumpet coral

pic 3 is a red cap montiopora
