Sorry to say, but that is not the sunset montipora that the original poster was looking for. The sunset montipora has flourescent green polyps, and the base is yellow to orange. The picture represents a nice montipora colony, but it is not sunset.

Is the original monti.

Now if the polyps do come out and they are that flourescent, then you do have the original sunset.

The polyps are flourescent green when they come out. Perhaps it would look alot better if the pic was taken under a 20K bulb like on the Frag a Lot web page instead of my 14K. I should also mention that in the pic I posted it was in my frag tank wich has no actinic lighting just metal halide.

I have a pic of my PPE frag that makes it look brown but that doesnt change the fact that its a PPE frag.Some people spend a lot of time to make things look better than they are.Not to mention that most corals change color a bit with different lighting.JMO and I hope you find what your looking for Clint
