Strange digitata color morphs

sfsuphysics · #1 11/07/2006, 06:47 PM

Ok, I'm curious as to what sorts of colors there are out there for the montipora digitata.

I have seen first hand, green, orange, purple and brown (we all know brown!

), some slight varations of those as well, ie green base, orange polyps, purple base brown polyps, etc etc.
I have a blue polyped one (although not as intense as some on here)
I've seen a "superman" style digitata, and I could have sworn I saw a rainbow (although might just have confused it with the danae or something).

So are there any other colorations out there? Provide a picture if you have it, if not, no biggy, I'd just like to dedicate a particular area to digitatas in my tank.

cool thread....Im interested in different types of digitatas as well.

I have a red...is that the same as an orange because I didnt think it was rare or different.??

Sidog1, pics?

I have that same mystery one from Reef daddy, wentreefgirl.

Mine has colored up a little more than yours but close. Can't wait for the polyps to start turning back red

I have the ORA Baby Blue digi w/ white polyps, and a TINY piece of sunset that I got from a trade with a guy locally here.

janderson8 · #15 11/08/2006, 06:13 PM

Yes it is true. . I had a friend in cali go to a wholesaler and call me and said I had to have it so I bought it.

THanks Everyone

Blue w/ orange/tan polyps(I say orange

):

I took a frag of my small colony(wild) and have it under higher light and the polyps are turning an almost yellow and the purple is very light but still super metalic looking. Ill try to snag a pic of it.

Oh...here is a cool purple w/ white polyps:

O

Karl, ooh that ROAB one is making me drool.. or maybe that's dinner, either way it's great.

Stony I concur with orange

And yes brown is a color damnit!

Yeah I have it also along with his Orange/Green combo. I can't seem to get the base purple color though and it leans on the brown/green combo.

When I kept it, it was 14" directly under a 250W Phoenix 14K. It also fused together nicely with the Tyree Idaho Grape that grew under it. Thought you might like to try that

accord86 · #21 11/09/2006, 04:02 PM

I can't get mine to branch. It started as a few branches, but since being in my tank has only encrusted.

BLKTANG · #22 11/09/2006, 04:14 PM

here is 2 0f mine in QT tank.

Karl: Heheh, I have a couple Idaho grape frags, one that is just on random movable rock X too, maybe if I find a nice color morph I'll attach it to that rock and see what happens

Expedition: Is that peach colored? Or just a bleached orange? Looks nice either way

Funny you say that because I can reproduce those exact conditions! I have it probaby 24 inches below my 250W phoenix. Plus I have a fair amount of Idaho grape.
