Show me the best encrusting monitipora!

[watchguy123]

A couple of my favorites, mystic sunset and sunset Monti? The mystic does not play nice, it stings and then grows over the sunset. Both are great looking.

what is that called cuz?

 

[powderhound]

Cuz, is that apple berry? I just got a chunk of it, looks really nice

 

[derek.reef]

don't want to speak for him, but it looks like a Montipora Palawanensi, need a pic from further to confrim 100%

CUZ, if it is Montipora Palawanensi, is it a slow grower? My LFS has one that i've been eyeing for a while, it hasn't grown at all (at the shop) in 3 months.

How is it doing for you? Could you post more pics of it?

 

[dvanacker]

My guess is appleberry...and yes that is palawanesis.

 

[DarthNater]

do you know how well it grows dvanacker?

 

[CUZ]

I've been told it is an appleberry, Its been a very slow grower for me!!

Well they may not be the most impressive but I like them. I think the bright green is a cap and I have no idea about the other.

My most recent coral purchase (less than 10 hours ago):

And my first coral purchase, ever (3 weeks ago) looked like this when I got it home http://i.imgur.com/Q2KHh.jpg

Where do you get your specimens? My LFS never has anything close to the awesomeness of what I have seen here.

My all time favorite is the orginal superman that I got from exotic reefs back in the day.

But the Forrest fire is also a nice variation.

 

[GSMguy]

Mark what about Emma's JMT?

I have one that I picked up a couple months ago that looks like forest fire but has a purple rim. Need to get a good pic.
