Which one is a ORA German blue monti

[Sinistard]

I have a couple montis both of which have been called by the ORA German Blue name and I was wondering which one actually was (if not both).

From the pictures I have seen this is it.

I just picked this one up and it was also called German Blue.

The first one I have had for some time and it grows like a weed. Every little piece that breaks off grows a new colony. It has a very lite tan base and a lite blue polyp.

The second one I just picked up and I guess it may change some in my tank but as of now its has a brown base with dark blue/purple polys.

Thanks

There both montipora digitata species. If they are the same morph, the one you recently received will slowly change colors and be similar to the one you have. Wait a month and then compare colors. The ORA has a tan base with blue polyps, so from your description I would say both are.

I've noticed with mine that if I give it more intense lighting it tends to get more blue. Did the second one come from a brightly lit tank?
