I've had this frag of monti for about 6 months, it has hardly grown but recently within the past couple of weeks the polyps have started to turn the brightest baby blue color i have ever seen. Sorry for the not so good pic, but unfortunately there is an orange stick in the way of getting a real good shot.

Very nice piece, but it doesn't really look like the reverse superman/mystic sunset. I have a look alike piece that I belive is the same as Reverse Superman/Mystic Sunset, and it looks like a different species of Montipora. The blue polyps on the reverse superman, mystic sunset and my look alike are much bluer and only half of the polyp is blue and have a different polyp shape. The polyps on my orange digi do that too sometimes usually at new grow areas in higher flow, and I have also seen Montipora Nodosa with bluish white polyps. It looks like M. Nodosa to me.

Yeah it came in as a no name monti at a local shop. At first just the bottom row of polyps turned blue. Slowly its spreading, it would be sweet if eventually they all turned blue.
