Check the "what is this sps?" thread by reneeccrn for your Montipora ID, I suspect it is the same.

My guess is M. porites. This morph seems very widespread in the hobby and it has been called many different things.

i could be wrong.....but im pretty sure that first monti i posted isnt porites. I have several species of porites from my christmas tree rock to a yellow nad a blue one and they look nothing alike...thats not to say it couldnt be though...thanks for the reply. I will check out that thread if i can find it.

I think the second monti i posted is spongodes.......i think.....

Sorry, i was referring to #5. There is a montipora called "Montipora porites". It is not actually in the genus Porites.

#6 is pretty awesome, but I think it would have to grow out more before you could identify it with much certainty.

gotcha. thanks for the clarificationi think you might be right....especially knowing what it looks like when it has no PE
