I would be more than happy to send some your way. It seriously doubles in size every 3 months. Im only running t-5, no telling what it would do under MH.
Happyhourhero, i would make to drive for a small frag of that... I have some other monti's to trade.

Sounds good. Select 2 pieces that you think would be good and I'll frag a branch of the elkhorn and a piece of that neon green confusa. Send me a email me at zackbrown01 at g mail dot com after the new year and we'll get the ball rolling.

It is very green with purplish/bluish polyps. It looks just like the picture only a brighter green.

I got one from TNC that was suppose to be green and it looks just like this. They are very fragile...if you get one you will soon have ten. Mine was broken into five pieces when I got it

Can anyone ID this montipora please? I know its not a cap and not an encrusting monti. Sometimes it will encrust and sometimes it grows like a chalice.
