That cap has been around the hobby for many many many moons and is readily available in the trade, the problem is that many look-alikes

Nice pic gasman and no doubt many look a likes out there, as with many other corals or the many names that they may carry has gotten very confusing over the years.
 
gasman, I'm not sure that the one you posted and the one posted by robsnnny is the same species of montipora. Correct me if I'm wrong as I've heard that differing flow rates will result in different growths.
 
very nice. I wish mine looked like that. Mine seems to like to grow big then RTN and I have to start all over from what is left. It has done that twice.
 
robsnny, what lights and ballasts are you using? What are you using for water movement? What else can you tell us about your system?
 
sure andrew

sure andrew

Im using 2 250w 14k hqi's phoenix bulbs accompanied by 4 110w "454" Vho's on icecap ballasts and i have one vortech pump and i run one 750gph Danner pump on each return from my overflows.
I run a korillin ca reactor and a euro reef skimmer.
 
Pic of my all green one bottom right of the pic....I have a puple rim a little beyond it...I had to get all that beauty from 2 corals instead of one like yours!:crazy1:

same coral but certainly u can get growth according to flow for sure.

That cap is THE CAP b/c of the nodular growth.
 
okay, my leng sy cap officially sucks now. had it for quite some time and zero nodular growth like yours. please tell me you'll sell me a frag and ship it over to me :) either one of you guys I just need my fix, thanks :D
 
So is this a leng sy cap as well? I thought is was an odd cap!

Thanks.

These pictures were about 6 weeks ago so it is about 1" bigger in circumference. I was just about to frag it some.

there are so many green w/ purple rims, it's so tough to tell what's what. Years ago people used to care a lot more about the ACTUAL lineage of corals, now people will call something that has a similar coloration something that it's not. It's a real shame to be honest... Even worse in the zoa community than it is in the SPS one.

Now, having said all that. WOW that's one of the nicest I've ever seen. One of my all time favorite corals, and yours is a stunning representation. Impressed (and a tad jealous).

Wow - thanks! This one does not have a purple rim though, basically whitish before turning green. Here is a better overall view of it from last week.

4 year later bump lol. So what is the verdict on these, there seems to be so many caps that look the the "real thing" has me wondering if they are all the same. Looking to get one of these caps soon, just don't know where to get the real deal or is it not worth it?
