psam Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Blueberry muffin M. peltiformis Orange M. capricornis Cap above before fragged true undata, superman photos to come... don't have any good ones. True undata is by far my favorite montipora, if not favorite coral. Link to comment
AcroporaLokani Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Here are some monti's in my frag tanks. Regular monti cap Heres an odd one it has white flesh and glowing green polyps, has any one seen this color of monti before? Link to comment
dshnarw Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thread needs a bump...I've been so busy with the biotope and coldwater tanks to add pics here. I'll just start with the ones I got in the V-day swap from dweak (thanks again!!!) green cap/green polyps: kiwi confusa: purple cap/purple polyps: green cap/blue polyps: green digi 1: green digi 2: pokerstar?? (THIS THING IS WEIRD!! looks green sometimes, red sometimes): forest fire digi: I have to say, I'm not convinced of the pokerstar, but I've definitely never seen one like it. Certainly not the same thing as the Mr. Coral pokerstar... I can't get the pics to do it, but at some angles the polyps are green, some they're red. It's like a mix between rainbow and the pokerstar I'm familiar with... Link to comment
jeremai Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 What's with all this crazy polyp extension? Mine are all rind... Link to comment
dweakl01 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 pokerstar??

It's like a mix between rainbow and the pokerstar I'm familiar with... In 6 months, once all the edge coloring is gone and it has grown, you'll be left with this... It is the same pokerstar as Dr. Mac's Collector's Reserve Stock SPS Frags. Give it time. Link to comment
Alexraptor Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I supposed i'll show off mine. Grown from just a small pathetic brown fragment. This is an old pic even so its really grown twice as much now.(camera is broken atm) Link to comment

It is the same pokerstar as Dr. Mac's Collector's Reserve Stock SPS Frags. Give it time. Didn't know it changed colors!! That's screwy! works for me! I shoulda known to look through there...that explains the confusion Thanks again! Link to comment
rbrusletto Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Where is the best place for finding monti's online... the stores in colorado, just dont have a selection. Link to comment
brshriver Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Where is the best place for finding monti's online... the stores in colorado, just dont have a selection. I think I have gotten all of my really nice ones via local clubs and the forums like NR. I got my Sunrise from CherryCorals.com. They have some nice stuff. Link to comment

dshnarw Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Found this at an LFS yesterday for CHEAP, but the pic sucks - color won't come through. Very nice green, with brown polyps and purple growth edges. kiwi confusa Think I'm gonna cut that top rectangle off for frags...looks too unnatural as is. Link to comment

FateX9 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 i had a purple/blue cap that i got from atlantis in va and i thought that was pretty bright but after i got the one from fraggle...wow the purple polyps on that cap was SOOOOOO much brighter and the pink was bright when it first came in but the color seems to be fading a little bit but right now its under some really yellow light once i get them in my tank im sure the color will come right back Link to comment

PodRod Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks for the feedback! I like Mr Coral and have purchased from them recently but they are limited on their monti stock at the moment. I'll wait for another update from them - maybe they'll have more soon. Link to comment
