Monti Confusa?

I have been waiting for this to grow out some so I could hopefully identify it by growth.

Is this a confusa or something else?

Hard to tell at that size, but I'd say Montipora Confusa or Montipora Spumosa. I have a Confusa, and I'd say yours has a LOT more vertical growth than mine. Sooo...my vote, Spumosa.

I knew it might still be a little early to try and identify it. I will just sit back and wait, although it's just about to get completely shaded by my Leng Sy so a move is in order.

spumosa has smaller corallites IMO
