Any Ideas about this Monti?

[MrPicasso]

I got this awhile back and I haven't been able to get a Positive ID on it. When I got it was almost off white with whitish green polyps, but now its colored up some so I thought I'd post a few pics and see what you all think. Thanks

There's a Montipora that's commercially called Flower Petal Montipora. I believe it's a M. capricornis, but am not totally sure. One of them is a Tyree LE Flower Petal Monti. Your pictures sure remind me of it. It's the polyp pattern that I'm seeing a resemlence in.

My first thought was maybe a bleached sunset, but I no longer think it is. When I first got it, it was larger but was bulldozed by a fish and it fell into the rockwork. About 2/3rd's of it died. It is slowly coming back and coloring up. Here's a pic of it when I first got it.

too small to tell.

well based on the pic of when you first had it i would say m. nodosa. I have a piece sorta like that which has deep purple base with neon green polyps... also known as morning star monti

My guess would be maybe M. Undata.
