    It appears to be an encrusting montipora, possibly a setosa? Got it from the LFS and they just labelled it sps. I have an orange setosa frag that is similar but not exact so wondering if this is another type. It's brownish/red with blue around the outer edges/new growth. Sorry for the bad iPhone pic but you get the idea ImageUploadedByTapatalk1369363064.996473.jpg

    Looks like a Montipora undata.

    That is an undata....Get that sucker under high light/flow and it will start to turn a nice blue color with super blue polyps.
