Show us your Monti's!!

[Snappy]

There are so many different, unusual and interesting types of montipora that I thought we should have a thread dedicated to them. If you have any please show them off. They don't have to be exotic. Let's see those monti's!!!!
I'll start off with a few of mine.

Looks like M.confusa to me. They are a sweet coral the way they glow under actinics.

[tang daddy]

^Greg thanks for the correction it's my favourite monti right now!

[dsaundry]

Hope I get this right..Little yellow Monti I picked up a couple of weeks ago from OA..Pic doesn't really get the yellow right..still playing with camera settings.:biggrin:

Tough to tell from the picture but are you sure that is a monti? It looks more like Turbinaria reniformis, better know as scroll coral. Sweet none the less.:biggrin:

[PzReefer]

Yes, I agree with snappy looks a lot like turbinaria too me too

What kind of monti is the purple one in the center? I have one shaped just like that but its green.

[Haloreef]

Colin, this has been way to hard for a 42 year old Chimp. It is like Chinese algebra. I can't figure this out. I am so mad right now it is amazing I still have a computer to try on.
I might try this again the next time I have an hour to show myself how dumb I am.

I am going to bash my head into my fire place now for a while and relax.
Haloreef.

Not as nice as the others here, but I've only had it a month and I kinda proud how much it has grown in that time. Edges have all healed up from fragging and its just starting to encrust onto the rock beneath it.:biggrin:
