ID this SPS coral please!

Can anyone ID this SPS coral? I got it for free from the LR tank from the LFS. I knew it was alive and sure enough, I put it in my 8 gallon biocube and it extended its polyps. Here are a few pictures.

Its encrusting montipora. Needs high flow and strong light

Sweet! Thanks! How long can it live under PCs?

Not very long. Youre going to want to get that under good conditions while you can. If its going to die, it usually takes about a week.

It also doesn't look that great to begin with.

It has polyps so it has a chance.
Definitely get it under the strongest lights you can.

move it up to the top of your live rock so it's as close to the lights as possible.
It looks like it could be a nice orange maybe burnt orange.
good luck with it.

Thanks for the info everyone. I put it in my 28 gallon tank under 150 watts of MH.
