Hi, can you tell me the name of the coral?

I saw this earlier. I was trying to decide if maybe it was a Staghorn but it looks too smooth skinned. Was wondering if maybe it was a softie and not a SPS... Looks almost leatherish.

So who helps do we pull in?

Maybe, but the coralites look wrong for a Monti?

@encrustingacro is the best at coral ID from what I've seen.

Yeah, growth pattern is probably Digitata.

I would need a clearer photo to tell but likely some form of Montipora
