From looking at it it's a sps (montipora) and would be better with stronger lights than you have or placed high in the tank with lower lighting. Sure others have mor info.

well I am running a 265 pc and am in the process of gathering what I need for a 250 MH light

 

[michaelg]

Ouch! already $150 for a 2" frag.... plus $55 shipping.

wow ! hahahh I should sell some my corals on e-bay !

damn thats retarded.....

Wonder what I can get for some 'rare' green M. digitata on ebay?!?

 

[DanConnor]

I dunno- green with pink/purple edge is common, but if the polyps are really blue it might be a nice coral. I'd want to see a better pic though, and still wouldn't pay over $50 for it either.

 

[Cruella]

no I am not buying it from ebay. I just found a good picture of it on ebay. all the otherspics have been small and the colors are brown/green and orange. this was my first time seeing a blue one

 

[DanConnor]

Oh, I get it- you're just planning for a M. capricornis in general. You'll probably be able to get a frag from a club member. As far as sps go they are not the most demanding in terms of light and current. I think you could keep it alive fine under pc, and get probably get better color under halides.

 

[Cruella]

thank you, I wanted to find out how well they would do in my tank and the care they need.

The frag I had was fine until it ended up upsidedown in the sand . I've got three species of M. Digitata under PC's but I have 390watts of light over a 55
