Sorry for the bad pics. Not a good photographer.
Anyone the name of this Monti?

Looks like some type of encrusting Montipora to me. I wouldn't be surprised if the yellow changes under your lighting. Enjoy!!!

My lighting is actually 2 x 250w now. Hopefully it retains its color.

Similar to L.A. Laker monti, not sure on scientific name, but gives you somewhere to start.
