Well like the title says I need help with an Id. This coral was sold to me as an encrusting acropora. But Im stating to think its a type of monti cap. Any ideas, thanks. Its growing great but I would like to know what it really is.

My first thought would be a type of Hydnophora. The clues for me are the flat, plate-like growth along with the thick branching at the top, plus the greenish color.
