I bought my first montipora coral yesterday. However the type was unknown. I was wondering if you guys think these are a plating monti or encrusting. I’ll add some photo.

many thanks

They both look like plating but will encrust first

Caps, plating. Lower flow will give you flat plates, high flow will give you tiered whirled plates
