Red w/ Blue Polyps - M. Undata

[rlpardue]

Hi all,

Some time ago I picked up a frag of what certainly appears to be a red monipora undata with blue holographic-looking polyps. I've never seen another one anywhere, and I'm curious if it is indeed an undata.

Anyone care to offer input? I picked it up as a frag from a wild piece in a LFS. I understand that the mother colony has since RTN'd.

Edit: I'm not sure whether the link will post a pic in the post, or whether you have to view it in photobucket. I'll research and try to fix.

Definitely looks like an Undata and I'd love to see a quality pic that's not washed out with blue actinic lighting.

This photo is a bit better. It's under Ushio 14k, taken with an iPhone 5 with no filter or post-shot editing. I think the photo conveys the light-blue polyps (even under super-white/yellow light).

What kind of features does one look for to determine whether a coral is an M. Undata?

EDIT: forgot to post the link:
