#1 pectinia #5 favia

Cam you tell what this is I have a idea

I'm not sure to be honest. It has mouths that resemble a chalice, plating that resembles a montipora and some growth that looks like acropora. Lol.

I'm thinking it is a chalice but not sure

 

[DSC reef]

The mouths in the front suggest chalice IMO. Looks unique

Montipora palawanensis

 

[Esquire805]

Montipora palawanensis

You sure

 

[JaimeAdams]

You sure

Yeah, looks about right. Look at the polyp positioning. If it were a chalice it would have large mouths or mouths on top of the lumps, not tiny sps polyps in the valleys. Is my beliefe correct with the polyps? I know that it is hard to make out any polyps at all in the pictures. I am basing my thoughts off what I see in the boxes of corals that we bring in from Indonesia. Please correct me if I am wrong though.

Yes there are no mouths just bumps

 

[DSC reef]

You sure

That looks like montipora palawaensis

 

[JaimeAdams]

Yeah, that is what it is. I'm usually pretty decent with coral identification. Not good with most things, but I see a lot of coral with my job and all that most times I have a good idea of what something is. Of course I'm not always right and even identification with industry professionals is far from scientific without examining the skeleton.
