I bought this frag plug with a little orange uncrusting coral on it a month ago. The seller didn’t know what it was and his supplier didn’t get back to him before I needed to leave. Any ideas? I included pictures with different exposures. It’s hard to get a picture of, much more orange in person, and kind of boring in daylight.

First glance makes me think cyphastrea, but the more I look at it the more I think it is a montipora. It seems like it is a small frag plug, and I don't really see the corallites protruding like on a cyphastrea. But it could be either or neither without a more clear picture.
