Coral ID please ?

Just found this frag at the LFS, both me and the seller don't know what it is and the price for it...

This is the multicolored blue/green one in the center that look like a mini mountain.

Can barely tell but I looks like montipora undata "Jedi mind trick"

Shriveled ric or monti from what I see

Are the polyps red and the outer rim blue?

The polyps inside the "multicolored waves" are brown little tiny pins. The waves are green/teal and blue...

Searched for ric coral and nothing look like this... Montipora look more like this, but didn't saw any pictures of something the same color on google image.

It's probably montipora danae or undata. Both pretty hardy sps

On google the ones that seems the more near of what it is except for color is Montipora confusa.. I really don't know what's...

Montipora danae, some look the same too, but not for colors...

 

[bribo12]

I've never seen confusa with blue in it

 

[mrvincent]

Really look like this one (Undata) except for colors...

 

[mrvincent]

It's a frag 1'x1'x1' How much should I pay for this maximum price ?


But for sure it's a kind of montipora ? So it should have high flow/light ? So Mid to top placement ?

 

[bribo12]

Yeah it's definitely a monti lol

 

[bribo12]

Not much lol. That's a tiny frag

Monti grow slow ? I think I'll skip my turn for this one. I was interested because of the colors that were cool...

I have a dying birdsnest, frogspawn, zoas and couple mushs...

I tried dip my birdsnest... Doesn't seems to help. It's like if the algae covering the calcium skeleton is ungluing...

My frogspawn stayed closed for days, my mushs too, only my zoas look healty. I dipped almost everything, now the mush are open, and the frogspawn opened the day after dip... What can it be ?

Certain species grow slow. That would be one of the slower growing ones. Digitata and capornicis grow very fast

montipora capricornis would look ugly in my 20g...

I'll skip my turn with monti... I prefer mush, zoas and sps like accros... Just my preference

Why? There are a bunch of colorful ones.

Ah I mean the brown one that look like a plate...

 

[bribo12]

Oh lol it comes in red, green, purple, orange and other varieties too

 

[mrvincent]

Do you have any idea why my frogspawn and mushs were closed until I iodine dip them ? My two headed duncan seems really happy.

Ca: 500ppm
Kh: 9dKH°
Mg: low (1100ppm)

None of them are brown if they are under the ideal parameters and lighting, but all of them look like plates.
