Nice find. That looks like M. nodosa to me, but ID's are always a guessing game. Really nice piece.

I QT and iodine dipped also with flatworm Exit too!
The white part is where a small Mantis shrimp refused to come out! So, I put straight iodine on there and killed it and some of the coral. It is healing and showing new growth in that area!

I haven't decided what to do with it yet. It is a killer show piece because of its size! It also came in as Montipora Danae Orange/green.
