SPS Frag ID?

Picked up this frag from the LFS but the staff didn't know what it was. It was with the other SPS frags- it is light/fluorescent green with very small orange dots. Any thoughts? Trying to figure out light/flow needs for placement in my tank- thanks!

Maybe a montipora, just going by the shape and look of the coral.

Would need better quality picture for a more accurate guess

Looks like Montipora to me. Maybe a faded / possibly partially bleached chili pepper or reverse sunset?

I would say a light colored chili pepper also, I don't know the exact spp name. But for sure that is in the montipora family.
