I have several decent size Red Setosa (branching type) frags I would like to trade for other SPS. Sorry, I don't want to sell. Trade only. I'm stocking a larger tank and need more SPS. Looking for blues and purples or anything else that's cool. Please PM if you would like to do some trades. Thanks. :biggrin:

Looks more like digitata. But maybe I'm wrong

It's not a digi. I have lots of that also.
Picture is terrible. Colour is much better.

Red digi is near top center. Setosa is near the bottom and to the right.

I thought the same thing, but found lots of pics of branching setosa online :)

Setosa IS a branching and encrusting montipora. If your setosa never branches I would question if its a setosa at all. http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/species_metadata/0529/view#

That said the frag on the right looks like digitata...some on the left look to be setosa...but yes a bit branch(ier) than most I've seen. Probably a flow thing.

Not sure if these are the same frags, but i sold Mark Orange Setosa frags a couple years ago.

Yes Wayne, they are from your original Setosa last year.

My setosa branches but more like balls but as it gets longer it gets fatter. I imagine that flow may affect the growth pattern
