What is this branching SPS?

[Bigkenny]

Under blue lights the base turns dark purple with bright blue tips and green polyps

M. Stellata is still my guess salty friend



Cough, cough


the growth pattern looks like stellata, but it appears the coenosteum is glabrous almost like a digi, and not rough with fused ridges like that of M. stellata.
However,I have never seen M. digitata exhibit that coloration, which is why I am guessing a better photo will reveal that the coenosteum is ridged, M. stellata would be my guess as well.

Im not so sure from all the pics ive seen of garf bonsai the structure comes straight up then small nubs branch off with polyps at the end but the nubs never branch again. Like this, not my pic

This SPS branches from the main structure then those branches branch again like a tree. Im pretty sure its of the Montipora family and the more i look at pics i think acrohead is right

Heres a pic with the polyps retracted

Not garf bonsai...

Some species Monti. Looks too smooth to be stellata.

ORA Jeremy's Montipora?

Well i thought it was bleaching so i moved it down but it appears that the base is turning lavender so i think that confirms that it a M. Stellata since thats the only Montipora sp. that i have found yet thats lavender base with green polyps
