Coral ID please

ReefHawke · 04/13/2009, 06:50 PM

Got this one in a trade. Previous caretaker said he wasnt sure what is was. He had gotten the mother from a tank tear down buy.

Any help on an ID, thx

encrusting monti, not sure what kind looks nice though

I agree, Awesome coloring.

Compared to montipora capricornis, it's much more thick, and the polyps are quite sparse. He said it was supposed to be a rare coral.

Per This Info I belive it to be a Montipora True Undata from Indonesia

^ it looks like a Tyree to me also, I have a green monti like that and its also from Tyree

Does it have brown polyps MileHighFish? I dont see any with brown yet. Red, white, and green, but no brown

MileHighFish · 04/13/2009, 10:26 PM
