^ From that picture, the base doesn't have that same green and the polyps are not as red. However, it is a nice looking piece.

If you look close it's base does have some green tint to it. Left and right side edges.The side facing you does not get as much light. The other side that faces the light has more of a green base.
My frag came from TFP. I'm sure Tim knows the lineage of my frag.  The polyps may turn red in 10K lighting. I use 20K. Last edited by znut Reefer; 11/13/2007 at 12:46 AM. |

znut, that monti was orginally from copps and was known as his vesuvius danae. when i saw maximus' tank (before he got out), he had a nice sized colony going of it. i think his was from the same lineage that became the AE fire engine monti.
its a pretty slow grower for me and does not like to be moved or fragged. but the polyps on it are insanely reddish orange. this lousy pic is about a month old. my colony is pretty small...almost the size of a golf ball.

I know that there are several Monti's out there with similar color combinations. The body texture, base color and poly colors are all usually different though. Off the top off my head I know of 7. They're all nice.

 I also have another wild monti I called years ago the cotton candy monti that is similar, but the polyp color was lighter, the base wavered in color all the way to blue purple, and the texture was smoother and less "danae-like"...  Copps

I was just playing, Jose. They are quite different. The Hawaiian Punch has very small polyps compared to the others. The Canadian Sunrise/Forest Fire has a very deep lime-green color base.
The HP is hanging in there.

Thanks Tom... back home to real life... That was the most ridiculous trip ever for so many reasons... For those who haven't read about it check it out...
What are the origins of all of these montis by the way, and who has mine?

Hi John (Copps)
You know I have a frag of your monti. It's looks the same as the frag I posted of the one I got from tfp. Come to find out, looks like I have 2 frags.

I have seen it called forest fire and sunrise monti..
Cherry corals sells it and it look nice very reasonably priced too, that is where I got mine. http://www.cherrycorals.com/view_product.php?product=47 Forestfire and sunrise is not a Montipora danae type though like some of the pics here. I believe the Danaes here are something different.. The reverse sunset is something different too.. The green on mine has lightened up some too since i got it. What lighting are you guys keeping them under to keep the dark green. Dave |
