What coral do u think suits this liverock?

I got this unique piece of live rock, and i want to place a coral on it that will take advantage of its unique shape. It will be placed high up in the tank, off centered under the light. Im considering the following so far, superman monti, plating monti cap.

Any ideas?

I like the entrusting idea but won't that hide the holes and ridges that make it so cool?

Yes, I agree. Some sunset monti would look great.

Ive been seriously debating sunset, superman monti or a monti cap.

I really like a blue monti cap but have never seen one for sale.

Tidal gardens has a lot of cool montipora for sale, and they have great deals on their live sales too.

Problem with monties is weight- they grow fast and could overwhelm the structure.

I would maybe try a coral that will encrust over it nicely and form that shape. Montis already kind of form that shape on their own so idk if you'd want to waste putting a monti on it
