Montipora ID? (Rainbow?)

[mr_cali]

Hi guys. So I recently traded for what I thought was a Rainbow Montipora. It's a nice frag but it looks like all the polyps are the same color (orange polyps with green outline). Here is a picture:

I was kind of thinking a rainbow montipora would look more like this:

I thought mine would have distinctly different looking polyps like the sample picture above and look similar to my superman monti (blue base, red polyps) except it would have some green and some orange polyps too. Is mine a different kind of rainbow, will it eventually look like the one pictured or is it a different type of monti altogether. Any help would be appreciated. I'm considering buying a different rainbow monti.

Its a Montipora venosa, or commonly known as pokerstar monti.

Hey thanks. Are you sure though? Don't rainbows look part pokerstar monti and part superman monti? I could be completely wrong though. I just thought mine was kind of odd because each of my polyps have two colors on them (orange and green) vs. some being orange and some being green. Also the base of my monti is not blue, it's more of a brownish purple.

A pokerstar montipora will have red/orange polyps at the outer edges of the coral. Once the coral grows, those polyps will turn green, while the new edges will have red/orange polyps.

The rainbow will have red/orange/green polyps at random points of the coral. So it is not specific to a certain area, like the pokerstar is.
