I'm not sure what this is. I thought it was a Monti Cap, but after looking at it versus my other caps, I don't think so. It's about 5 times the thickness. The base is a yellowish-brown with very large purplish-blue polyps. The mother colony was mostly encrusting with plating edges.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hm, that peltiformis looks pretty close! Thanks! Any tips for keeping it? I haven't noticed a lot of growth.
