tyree most wanted capricornis

[DanConnor]

Just to expand on that a little, a "named" coral is a clone of an individual specimen, and the expectations of what it will do in a tank are fairly well defined.

How it came about that name... well, who cares?

I got this Montipora today. The polyps are super bright green. I mean SUPER BRIGHT! Think it could be?? I bought it as a cultured Montipora. Has anyone seen polyps this green on a Monti? Brightest coral in the tank. Blue is starting to come out on the edges.

Sorry about the large image. Don't know what's up with that?
Anyone seen something like this before? Nodules are present.

No matter what it is it looks pretty sweet to me.

Yes, a local guy that sells corals out of his garage has a piece exactly like that. Probably a Walt Smith aquaculture that will be coming in regularly. The polyps are neat as they are neon green and really stand out from the rest of the coral.

I know this is a rather old thread, but, is the one that Atlantis Aquarium sells the real deal?

They have a picture on page two of the frags:

Funny...their claim is exactly this...if even Tyree says it all died off, why is this guy claiming to have it...I'm sure Tyree has gone to visit his store to see if it's really it, seeing that it's still on his "Most Wanted List" on his site

True Leng Sy
Cap
Grown from a frag we received
over 2 years ago! Do not settle
for imposters! Strong light. Will

inches!!

There are some 'real' ones out there. If you can at least trace it back to Paletta, you've got the original. At least, that's what Mr. Sy told me

 

[TandN]

I had one that grew exactly like it and was unreal but I dont know where it originated from I feel a coral is a coral all these speacial named ones are insane I aquire them by mtrades with friends

 

[Unarce]

That's the key, really. You gotta spend a bit initially, so that you have something worth trading for. Than it just snowballs from there.

It helps to network in reef clubs and boards.

Mine originated from M. Paletta's tank.
