I believe DD had a bit of an OOPS todays and this is an acropora that has yet to branch not an encrusting montipora What do you think?

Isn't the main difference between acros & montiporas raised vs flush or recessed coralites?.

Some acros do not branch at all.

Both can have raised coralites, Acropora will be scale shaped. Montipora will have septa in two cycle with inward teeth.
