Is this a Porites?

[W0terMoist]

Picked up this frag for $10 from my local shop. Not sure what morph matches well with this coral. The tentacles don't have a punchy color, its brown, red, gold, a mix if the colors, but the tiny centers of the polyps have bright green. Either way I feel this is a solid grab, can't wait to see its growth a year from now.

Could be, or could be a stylocoeniella. I would need to see the corallites.

does not look like Porites to me. Coralites are too far apart and they generally will look more like a monti.

some porites, such as p. densa, can have corallites spaced far apart. Encrusting montipora will generally have tuberculae on their coenosteum.
