SPS ID (a type of motipora I think)

[Henryreef]

I recently picked up this rather unusual montipora and was looking for an ID with both scientific and common names (in any)

It is green with brown polyps and slightly purple tips

 

[Henryreef]

no one?

Looks like Montipora confusa.

 

[Henryreef]

[Henry Colf]

looks like Montipora Sponodes to me.

Thanks for the confirm :dance:

M. Spongodes or M. confusa. The two are very similar. I have an ORA M. Spongodes that looks just like it.

I vote for Spongodes
