Check out my setosa

I'd like to see it in the day lights for a comparison. Looks pretty cool though.

Not as cool to be quite honest. Can't really see the color changes in the day lighting but morning evening is really neat.

Side by side for you guys

Sorry haha. I fragged that piece to see if it grows green, here's the picture

I found this on the reef farmers web page

This submassive and irregularly branching Montipora was a new species morph for the captive market when it was imported. The coral also has an intense Orange Cream Reddish pigmentation that contains some mauve coloration. The surface structure is very smooth and polyps are very tiny and they contain more reddish pigments. Because this is a submassive coral, at times it can appear as a brilliant solid orange red Montipora confusa type of coral. The original colony of this coral also could develop lime green pigments in certain areas. What even makes this coral more unique is that it can also form irregular branches.

Does the colony have green in it under actinic light?

That is way cool. You need to name it and sell it for $$$. Collectors will jump at the chance for a piece.

It has been done years ago already. "Grafted Setosa" is a simple as it should get. The coral clearly speaks for itself no show name needed.
