Acropora ID

I know it's an acro but that's all. After searching the net and looking through my books I can't seem to positively ID this one. Hoping someone can.

Looks to be some type of montipora on there to. Should I move it or will they be ok that close together?

Yep, that's the one. Considered by most hobbyist to be a pest.

Jackassus Bushboyus is know to be extremely hardy, overgrowing more cultured specimens. Also known to attempt cross breeding with other corals, and even with snails, crabs and other inverts. Be wary of the subtype known as Jackassus Bushboyus Pervertica.
