Nice pics Bob. What is that 1st Monti? Don't think I've seen that one before and I love it!
It's a no-name that I found and grew out. It's almost a reverse pokerstar with a green base and blueish polyps instead of the normal blue base with green polyps.

yes please tell!!! was the picture of the purple rimmed monti during a water change?
Good eye!! Yes, the top part of the purple rimmed green monti cap is out of the water while I was doing a water change. Same thing with the Montipora spongodes too.

Was actually wondering if it had a name like a lot of other monti's do.
Lol just another reason to double the price. These can be had often and for cheap most of the time. Good lighting and conditions will result in this kind of response. I have seen others pretty crappy looking before too and this 1 is top notch.

Growth on it has been very good. I had it under T5's in my frag tank for about 6-7 months. Started branching there. Actually cut a few frags for friends and it has grown very quickly for me. I blast it with light and flow and it's very happy : )
