digi monti's...

[3mm3]

Ok here is one of mine

 

[BigBadZoaDaddy]

Bigdadzoa, the last one looks more like a spongodes or a confusa. Capitata has more pronounced corallites.

See I would think that looks like a branchin Vercosa.

This Pic shows more pronounced corallites..

and I will have to get a pic of my spongodies and all them that are close and post them, cause I have Spongodies, Digi, Captita, Vercosa, somethin called Dinosour egg? Aslo.

I would usually tend to agree with you on the branching verrucosa theory, but I think if that were the case the one I'm calling capitata would have a much more encrusted base than they do. Because the verrucosa starts out pretty encrusting then starts to branch out at the thickest part in the middle. Yours could be either or at this point, we'll have to see how it grows out in the next year.

FUll colony crappy color in this pic.

frag of that colony in differant light and just more TLC and time.

and as for spongodies, the branch show here are more smooth.

Here's 3 of mine. The brown one was purple when I got it. The purple one was brown when I got it. The green coral on the right is a stylophora.

 

[BigBadZoaDaddy]

and what conditions do you keep it under/in?
