Great color. What kind of Montipora is that? The polyp mouths make me think it looks more like an Echinophyllia. But I am not the best with coral IDs
I don’t know either. The owner of the aquarium shop said it was an Montipora, so I bought it.By the way Its color is actually pink, but due to the blue light it appears purple.

I’ve gone hunting for the remaining montis in my system, none of them are POTM worthy.
It’s not just about the photo. Your fellow Reefers are the ones who vote on you to win! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
 
Jerry Springer guarding the natural grafted monti. Not sure where the green came from but I'm happy it did!

Here’s my back from the dead red monti. It came with the tank when I moved it and was about quarter size and all brown.

its a photo competition not a popularity contest so it should be the other way around ;)
still agree with encouraging all to post even with regular subject or less camera skills as its a fun conmpetition after all.
 
A chunk of monti cap chilling on the frag rack while I decide on its forever home, and get brave enough to take on the psycho clown :eek:
