Anybody know the species of the Superman Monti?

[Greg Hiller]

My piece is pretty darn small so it might be years before growth is sufficient to have any idea of the morphology of the colony. Anybody have a large one? What does it look like? Any ideas on species, I know there are a LOT of encrusting Montipora species, but still thought I'd ask.

Any photos of big colonies?

I always thought the original was a Danae?

i think tyree has it listed as a m. monasteriata (sp?)

I believe Sam Tabora aka "Bruddah" one of exotic reef farmer is the original founder of this m. danae (not sure) coral. Here's a picture from exoticreefs' website. It was originally called "Pound my heart Danae"

I think danae is the common term that is being passed around. However, I truly do not think it's a danae.
