twister23 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I got this frag in a sps pack a few months ago and I still have no idea what it is. Link to comment
whattup32533 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Some type of encrusting montipora Link to comment
twister23 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 i don't think that it is a monti because at night it has feeders that come out. Link to comment
jeffblly Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I would have said montipora too but feeders sounds more like lps. Maybe a favia? Link to comment
twister23 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 when I look at pictures online it looks similar to porites Link to comment
CassiusClay Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 you're sure its not an LPS?? looks like an LPS to me Link to comment
organism Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 My guess is some kind of porites. Link to comment
Crawf71 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Emerald City Cyphastrea Emerald City Cyphastrea Here is on on Liveaquaria. http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemD...&ddid=77383 Link to comment
twister23 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 it looks nothing like that coral on liveaquaria Link to comment
organism Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Emerald City Cyphastrea Here is on on Liveaquaria. http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemD...&ddid=77383 It's for sure not a cyphastrea... Link to comment
opipe73 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I was going to say cyphastrea, but the poylps look to close to each other. Link to comment
twister23 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 i really do not think that I would get an lps frag in an sps pack. Link to comment
basser1 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ummm..... Just a thought but, how about asking the source where you got your frag pack from???? Link to comment

twister23 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I don't know if this helps, but the coral is also hard as a rock. Link to comment
opipe73 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 It has to be some kind of encrusting montipora. Do you like it? Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 It has to be some kind of encrusting montipora. Do you like it? I would agree... Link to comment
opipe73 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 What kind of lights do you have? Link to comment
twister23 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 I have a 4x39w t5 fixture. I still think it looks most like a porites coral. I don't think it is an encrusting monti because I have some of those and the polyps are totally different. Link to comment
corallineadam Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 encrusting monti Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 How big are the polyps? Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Also, montipora polyps don't appear to be as regularly spaced as the polyps on this frag. Link to comment
neuwave Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 ya I think it is an encrusting porities. Link to comment
twister23 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 the polyps are the same size as monti polyps. Link to comment
