hahaha its definitely a purple undata... google it.

It definitely is a confusa. It takes a while before you are going to see the vertical growth.

Thanks for backing me up.

I don't have to google it I own 3 different types of undata and 3 different types of confusa.

I think he's saying this because he bought the coral as the ORA purple undata which it definatly resembles. Weather or not it is a Undata or Confusa i don't know because im not that big on monti's.

oh ya..just looked it up. ORA miss-identifies another coral.....I don't know why they are so bad at that.

These are some previous shots of my Rainbow Monti:

and my Pokerstar as it is waking up and extending polyps:

BeakerBob those photos of your Rainbow Monti are totally sick! Frame worthy!

Can you get a picture w/o so much blue lighting? It will be much easier to ID it that way.

Definitely Mystic Sunset. Half blue polyps give it away.

 

[AcroholicReefer]

Pokerstar monti?

 

[spspirate]

yes

 

[SteezySPS]

I noticed the rainbow monti has a red center in all of the polyps. does the pokerstar have it as well?

One of my favorite monitporas. Not too rare, but good looking nonetheless.

 

[reefhead]

my lfs has this piece frequently. possibly a local with a large colony. i purchased it under the name of mystic sunset.

 

[skinz78]

It is not the Mystic Sunset.

This is a Mystic Sunset:

Also I am not sure of the name on this one but I am told it is rare.

 

[darryl_v]

Awesome.....2nd one is the hologram monti

 

[XavierZ06]

Actually it is a mystic sunset. the LEDS are accentuating the blue in the polyps. But it still is one.

 

[darryl_v]

Huh...he already said the first one was the mystic sunset.

Second is hologram....fo sho.
