Coral ID

Hello,

Not sure where this on came from. Sorry for the bad picture but it is under all blue lights. It is really pink under normal lighting. Can anyone tell me what it is or at least what type of coral it is?

Thanks

Paul

It’s a montipora

It’s a montipora

Undata? Small purlple polyps.

I’m sorry but I can’t tell if it has a name.

It looks like it could be M. undata, for sure. My other suggestion depending on polyp size and eventual growth form would be M. verruculosus.

 

[PaulS]

Sorry for my ignorance but search on both of the above does not give me any reasonable hit. What does M. stand for

 

[Labridaedicted]

Montipora (the genus) and the second part is the species

Looks like it could possibly be montipora verrucosa. Very nice montipora.
