metrokat Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Rabbit Stew New in release terms means they gave it a name. I think it's probably related to Sunset, now that I look at it more closely. Do you think so? I think it looks more like Danae, like the Phoenix. Rising Phoenix Phoenix Sunset I would like to get this one. ASD Phoenix Sun Montipora. Almost had it too. They had a cut up piece on one of their live sales for a reasonable price. I asked to see more pictures of it, they kept putting me off, then I see an article on RB about it. Blue polyp montiporas man, it's all about the blue polyps. 6 Quote Link to comment
picoreef78 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Mystic Montipora - Montipora tuberculosa Sunset Montipora - Montipora nodosa Pokerstar montipora - Montipora monasteriata Rainbow montipora - Montipora tuberculosa ORA Spongodes - Montipora spongodes (verrucata?) Phoenix Montipora - Montipora danae And as you know these are all very different from Montipora digitata and capricornis. Montipora is the genus, not the species, so despite being in the same genus, each can be exceedingly different. Finally names to my montipora. M. nodosa is a medium grower. Rainbow was fast then slowed down and has lost its color, is now purple/blue base and red polyps. I can confirm M tuberculousa as a fast grower. Over the past 6 months it has quadrupled in size. Now only if my Acropora would do the same. A lot of envy for the M. danae (Phoenix Sun) one. 1 Quote Link to comment

Paleoreef103 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sunset Montipora - extremely slow to grow, and routinely dies and regenerates. Pokerstar - slow grower, easy to kill. Rainbow montipora - grows reasonable well, hard to kill but hard to stay colored well. ORA Spongodes - grows fast, very easy to cull Phoenix Montipora - slow like a MOFO chalice. Just to name a few. Your sunset montipora is a slow grower? Mine has undergone a few death/regen cycles, but it always grows quickly and takes over the area in the mean time. An ORA spongodoes is one I wish I never put in my tank. Grows remarkably fast and has taken over a huge portion of my tank. It's pretty, but not a knock-out. I've also got vivid's purple haze encrusting montipora that's nearly invincible as well. Considerably tougher than a superman, rainbow, or pokerstar monti. Tank looks wonderful, Kat. 1 Quote Link to comment

ORA spongiges is so easy to remove though, super soft and brittle structurs, you can even scrape it off with a fingernail it's that soft. Tank looks wonderful, Kat. Thank you. It's hanging in there, some ups and down but mostly happy. What is the Genus and Species of "Reverse Sunset Montipora" Green base, red polyps?

If spotify is the only way you listen to music then I agree with your boycott. I listen to my ipod and the radio so I'm good. My brother says I'm the only dinosaur that still listens to the iPod. I'm like how the eff do you get spotify in an airplane, which is where i listen to my ipod. I have one of these crusty ones 1 Quote Link to comment
