OG Green Montipora aequituberculata?

[Brandon McHenry]

Hey guys!
I was given this frag for free from a local fish store to try to grow out. They said it was an original green Montipora aequituberculata from the Tyree colony which is around 20 years old now. Any thoughts or opinions? I know the picture is rough. Sorry :p

It's possible it could be. It looks a bit rough. I'll try to snap a pic of mine and post it up in a bit.

Yeah it definitely is not in the best condition but it was free and I couldn't pass up of the chance to see if I could bring it back!

Hey free is free. I've received some free frags that bounce back after a little time and TLC. They can be some great pieces and if you don't like them after they recover trade them or pass them on to another fellow refer. I picked up this Tyree Aquituberculata from WWC. It was just barely the size of a pinky nail. Growth is pretty steady had it a little over a month. Currently under ATI T5 CP,BP,PP. Along with Kessil A360WE. High flow and about 16in from the lights.

Awesome! Hopefully mine will color up nicely and become something cool. And you've got to love WWC.

Mine is more Chartreuse Green under normal light. Pic was taken under just my Kessil at the time. More on the Blue spectrum.

Wow thats amazing. I heard that it may become more yellow under really intense lighting. Still really cool either way!

Medium light, good flow and it should color up and start growing those famous nodules for you.

Awesome! I really hope it does! What type of lights are you running?

I'm running T5, it did fine under LED as well.

Yeah montis are pretty easy in general. Hopefully my LED/T5 combo will do the trick.
