Coral ID???

I purchased this piece of live rock, with a colony of polyps on it, and a few days later everything opened up, and to my surprise, so did the coral. I think it's a type of montipora, but if anyone knows anything about it that would be great. I placed it in the upper half of my tank and it seems to be enjoying the flow of the water.
