Please help with ID...

Hi all,

I picked this up back in October at a frag swap and don't remember what the guy told me it was. All my searches for "pink coral" have come up with Stylophora but I'm not convinced this is what it is. The frag is only about half an inch long from the plug and the polyps look pretty large. Sorry for the poor cell picture. Please let me know what you all think. Thanks!

Its a Montipora.
Most likely M. setosa.

Thanks for the ID, definitely agree after looking at some pics of M. setosa!
