Montipora efflorescens

[Myka]

What do you guys think? M efflorescens? I picked it up a couple weeks ago and it was a fairly bleached out, now starting to brighten up.

Another one I was thinking it could be is maybe Montipora peltiformis.

No one can hazard a guess??

I think m. Efflo is a pretty good guess. It definitely has that look to it. From what I remember m. peltiformis has more tuburculae than what you are showing in your pic.

With out looking all the species up...m.nodosa is my guess.

Bayside corals? Really nice piece. They had nice pavona and acan echinata I was looking at (through the internet) at the same time as that piece.

Thanks for the input Darryl. I forgot all about M nodosa...that's a definite possibility too. Yes, another fantastic piece from Bayside Corals from one of the Tonga orders. I got a small piece of that lovely Pavona too. :)
