Can anyone ID this for me? SPS?

Hi there, I was moving some polyps today when I noticed this guy.

He was on the other side of the rock so I never noticed him... He's kind of hard to see but it looks like a brown hard skeleton with little green polyps. I have no idea what it is but it looks neat.

Any help would be awesome!

It's really hard to tell with those pics. Can you take a pic with a flash and with full tank lights on?

Pretty much impossible to tell by the pic.

My guess would be some sort of montipora.

Blast I figured as much, let me see what I can do - I'll have to dig into the closet and find my SLR And turn the lights up. I have never interrupted the light cycle, will it harm anything or should I wait until tomorrow ?

Not a big deal to interrupt the light/dark cycle, they aren't flowering plants. You don't have to turn on the main lights though if you can get a good pic with a flash. That would actually be better as it will show any corallite formation as well as any other identifying skeletal protrusions. The color won't be true to life but color doesn't matter for the most part anyways.
