thaat does separate a tru Leng from many look-alikes the nodular growth. Whether is related to flow or to the coral specifically( IMO the later) I've never seen those nodules in any other 'purple rim cap'

Nice cap
 
That is by far one of the best green/purple montipora species I've seen in this hobby!! You better frag that and pass it around! ;-) Definitely not a capricornis..
 
I hope my "leng sy" does that one day. Mine is growing rapidly, much faster that my tyree flower petal, but not as fast as my purple monti. How long did it take before it started shooting out nodules? Does it just keep growing outward and flat before sprouting nodules?
 
robsnnny, absolutely amazing!

I acquired a Leng Sy frag a while back (at least I was told). It is now about 4" diameter. Color is great but no nodules yet.

What is the size of yours and about when did you notice the sprouts. Wondering if mine is the real deal now. Thanks for sharing.

Thank for the great comments.
My tank has been set up for 2yrs, the leng si has been in for about 18 months. I bought if from pacific East and it was about the size of a quarter when i placed it in my setup. Its roughly 8 inches across now. i had nodules after about 3 months. I havent considered selling any frags yet but will in the future.
