Also looking for a colorful one but can't seem to find any places that offer them, so does anyone have and they are willing to part with or know of any good sites to order one from ?? Thanks again R2R always helps me out

Montiporas are mostly encrusters and Monti Caps are plating corals. Colors are also a difference. This might not be a super complete assessment as I'm no expert but that's my understanding anyway.
As far as vendors, there are several online vendors that I have seen them. Try LiveAquaria. They have a nice selection of corals. Also, try the buy/sell forum of R2R.
Good luck

There are several different species of montipora and cap is one of them (Montipora capricornis)
