I was looking at the J&L website and they had Yellow porites listed ... however the picture looks alot like my Montipora Digitata ... here is the link to the porites ...

Digitata is thinner and has more of a branching growth pattern, IMO.

My "yellow" digitata isn't that yellow, hint of green, where as th porties is solid yellow.

Looks like yellow Porites to me, as Jack mentioned digitata is much more of a thinner branch.
