He everyone,
Just got some new corals and was wondering what they are.

Got this one because of the polyp colors, not sure what the body will be when it colors up though.

Got this one because I though it was a superman monti in the store, but it totally changed colors in my lighting. It currently has a royal blue base and the polyps change from green to brown/red daily.

Blue Polyp Monti. I have 2 pieces one in lower light with a brown base, and the other in high light with the similar cream base.

Blue Polyp Mille possibly? I got a frag from Snappy that looks very similar.

The first monti is montipora peltiformis. It grows pretty fast.

Yeah I would agree with that, it certainly looks that way in other pics.

I have a montipora peltiformis and it seems to grow very different than this coral. Where the montipora peltiformis is kinda plating the coral I have encrusts. Also the coloring seems very different. Just a slight variation on the coral i guess.

Thanks its one of my favorites! I accidently dropped in on the sandbed when I first got it, but it really came back.

Im gonna go against the grain and say that the second one isnt a humilis.....I think its a digitifera....the braches dont taper in on the ends like a humilis....
