Ive always known this coral as Montastrea as well. Whether its correct or not... dunno.

 

[Justin74]

Ya, possibly Montastrea cavernosa..

[Justin74]

Gorgeous piece though! Bet it's a light show under actinics!

It size is pretty impressive (almost 10" across) and it is starting to get blue centers along with the purple and green. I have it getting a good amount of light. I did find one small tear in the tissue, but I am hoping nothing becomes of it. Thanks again.

looks like montastrea, veron pg 506.

 

[fijiblue]

Fancy seeing you here

Just putting in my two cents.

Haha I can only wish. Kudos on that find. Its favia and I would break up a few shrimps pellets and sprinkle the pieces at night, did that on my Christmas Favia at night and he thrived. Only until the 12g crashed..... Oh well.

Good Luck!
