stylaster Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Im not sure what this guy is, i thought at first it was a montipora, then alveopora, but now im leaning toward porites. It has been a very slow grower i've had it for over 4 months and hasn't grown much more then a couple more mm. what do you guys think?

Lowman Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Roy, it looks like a monti to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 just throws me cause of the slow growth all montis ive had grow fast, that's why i was thinking porites, it does have little spikes that come up between the polyps... of course my photo skills for macro shots aren't too hot, need to get a macro lense... you can get that as my christmas gift to me Bob hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krux Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 It looks not unlike an encrusting monti that Soutas used to sell years ago. Not sure if they still have it in their shop, maybe Ricky knows what it is if it is indeed the same coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
