Hey guys , I'm still kind of new to the sps world. I ordered an sps frag pack and I'm not to sure what this one is. I attempted to look it up on the web but can not locate it. Im trying to figure out how it grows so I can select the most appropriate spot.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like an encrusted frag of bonsai

Its too far away to tell if it is a Acropora, Montipora, Porites, or some other SPS. Do you have a closer pic of it? Corallite detail in the picture would help.

Is this better? I'm thinking a montipora digitata.

What do the corallites (polyp holes) look like? Sunken in, tilted cups. narrow tubes?

 

[rcmania]

I would have to lean more towards sunken in

Then it's more than likely a Motipora species. Maybe start looking at at Montipora mollis?
