White polyped digitata anyone?
 

I don't know if these are another form of "brown corals" that no one talks about, or if I have something kinda sorta maybe special here, but has anyone seen a white polyped digitata? Not a bleached out digitata either, but one that has stayed white.

Mine is a white with a very light hint of blue, and I'm just curious if others have seen something like it (not trying to get an ebay value of it either, I'm actually going to give some frags away to the locals :D)

Here's a picture of mine after I fragged quite a bit (mostly accidentally)

Just from looking at all the dead skeleton covered in algae, i am thinking something is not right with the coral. It looks to have had a rough time before you got it and its still recovering.

It would tend to agree. It appears to be either a orange digi that's slightly bleached or lost color, or a german blue polyp (hint of blue triggered this thought) that isn't getting enough light. It's always possible it's something unique, but it's hard to tell until it's thriving/healthy and has some good growth tips.

ok any dead skeleton you see is due to a nasty algae outbreak I've been battling, the rock itself it is on is not a the coral's skeleton, but some other coral I used as rock rubble, those two pieces you see are not a single piece that had the middle part die off, instead the piece on the right is simply a frag I made (accidently) that I decided to glue back onto the same rock.

I got this as a frag that was maybe an inch long, and it was never an orange color, slight blue yes, but nothing as intense as german blue, and it has puddled out and formed a nice base as you can see, and has grown quite large... well before the rock/skeleton it was on fell and snapped off the branches.

That's similar to how mine looked until I moved it way up in the tank. It may be a optical illusion, but the polyps on the top look more blue than the ones on the side. That supports the theory.

Sitting about 2/3 the way up the tank directly under a 400w MH Radium.

I've got a digi like that, white polyps, grey body. There were a lot of these this past summer in the chicago area.
