Thanks for the bump! Is it a montipora?

I bumped, cuz I haven't the slightest idea.:wink:

Green base with brown polyps looks like a Montipora Spongodes. I've also seen it called Confusa.

M. spongodes and M. confusa are two different corals, and from the picture no one can be certain if it is either of those. Can we get a picture with the polyps retracted and taken with whote lighting?

Pretty certain it is Spongodes but that is why I said "looks like" based off of his description and the look of the extended polyps in his pic.

There's a pic with polyps retracted. I'll have to wait to get a pic with white lighting.

Looks to me like confusa from the way it's growing.
