its montipora.. confusa or undata.. or one of the other plating montis..
very adaptable to different lighting. probably be a little more intense if placed higher up but certainly doesn't need acropora type intensity
its very pretty! I assume that's a pic under blues with yellow filter?

Thank you that's actually under full spectrum about 50/50... Its yellow no filter thats why I posted it as i never seen a Monty with these colors.

There were a few of these I remember coming in a long.time ago (2009-2010). Common names were reverse sunset and Grinch, fire engine, Forrest fire.

It was right after the chili pepper/seasons greetings morphs came.

I don't think all of them got named but there were a couple that had more of a yellowish green skin and a couple that had more of a bright yellow skin.

If yours is super bright it's prob a Forrest fire. The yellow vs green base isn't the most reliable indicator from what I remember as it's somewhat sensitive to PAR.

Cool coral!

Reverse sunset monti is a good guess. the back color is anywhere from light green/yellow to a darker green depends on lighting with orangeish reddish polyps. looks like its under leds with lots of blues.
