    Hey guys, looking for an identification.

    It doesn't seem to be encrusting, so I'm leaning towards LPS. I have encrusting monti's and its not growing like that ... its growing more like a chalice.

    Its growth has been pretty good, every edge was a broken open end about two weeks ago, and all have rounded and healed nicely.

    Please help!
