siskiou Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 There is the obvious ones, like the monticaps, and the orange branched monti, and the the two encrusting ones, but are any of the others in this pic candidates, too? Here I've circled the corals I'm sure are Montis in green, and the ones I'm not sure in pink. The two uncircled ones are a pink milli and an efflo. Do I have to worry about those? And a green slimer is safe, right? I'm still very new to sps corals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The little one circled on the golf tee looks like Acropora. The big circled 2 both look like Montis especially the bottom one, looks like some Nudi damage too. Hard to tell on the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Green slimer will be unaffected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks! I won that larger frag you think is a monti at the Christmas meeting. It never looked very healthy, so this may be what brought in the nudis. I'll add both of the corals to the quarantine now... Edited to add: Yep, you were right! The larger frag had nudis on it. I broke off a couple of tips that looked unaffected, and put them into the QT tank, and through the rest out. The smaller one looks unaffected for now, but I stuck in in QT anyhow.

dsoz Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The smaller one in the double circle does not look like a montipora to me. It looks more like a green pocillopora (cat's paw). But without a closer picture I would not make a definitive guess. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 now that you mention it, it does look like cat's paw. Either that or some fat birdsnest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'll try to take a better close-up of the coral in question tomorrow, when the lights are on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
