Stylocoeniella

You dont see this one too often, but i have had one for awhile and love the colors. Most people mistake them for montipora. They are easy to tell apart since stylocollenia has sharp spikes in the skeleton

Here is mine.... also picked up a pink polyp one a couple days ago



Do you guys have pics of yours?

Very cool. I saw a red one at a store I regret not picking up. They are very unusual. And they do get mistaken for Montipora grisea. The difference is Stylocoeniella has septa in the corallites and that Montipora mentioned has papillae surrounding the corallite.

Great coral! I had a green one years ago and loved the deep rich pigments it produced.
