I need some help confirming the ID on this guy.

This caught my eye at my LFS and I said I didn't have room for any plating montis and I didn't want any more encrusters.

She said it is a "Rainbow Digitata" and is a branching form.

It is medium blue bodied and green polyps. One end does appear to be branching out. Sorry for bad photo, best I can do.

So, is this an encrusting rainbow monti or a bubblegum digi or another digi?

It looks like a standard encrusting monti to me. Hard to tell if in pics but ya probably rainbow monti. It certainly looks nothing like the growth form of a branching digi

Perhaps a picture of it under the white lights would help. Also if you could take a picture of it from the top.

Best shot I got sorry. Got busy with a few tasks while I had pumps off and forgot to turn off blues.

I googled some photos of Tubbs and that’s exactly what it looks like in person.
