monti?

[zachogden]

afternoon all. recently picked this up from a local reefer who didn't know the name or type of coral. i originally thought it was a type of encrusting monti but the polyps are pretty big, almost the size of a small zoa. it seems to be filling in all its available flesh with new polyps instead of encrusting the rest of the plug or branching.

any ideas?

sorry for potato quality image...base flesh is pale green, polyps are pale orange/pink

it is cyphastrea.... commonly sold as meteor shower cyphastrea
