Nice one Sang. Picture doesn't do justice. You really got to see this bright coral in person. Here's shot of my orange m. danae.

Agreed, my setosa is a little more of a pinkish hue to it.

Nice, Sang.

Nice Sang! You always have the good stuff....

Maximus · #9 11/01/2006, 10:48 AM

Thanks guys! I think it looks similar to Eric's monti but I do not think it's the same one. This particular monti doesn't have the nodules growing from it. The bumps are real smooth in nature and I don't forsee any spikes or nodules growing on it. I did see the small colony Atlantis has and it does look similar to that one. I reserve the right to be totally wrong though

Here's my frag of the Setosa-I really highly doubt it's the same

I couldn't agree w/ you more.

slojmn · #12 11/01/2006, 12:28 PM

Yup, agreed, Sang has the killer stuff

.

I saw the pic naka posted earlier in another thread and was struck by the brightness of this coral. I thought it was awesome then andcontinue to think so. It will be interesting to see how these two pieces grow up

. Good find for both of you.

Lets see...catchy name...hmmmmm, something ghoulish in honor of Halloween, the orange goblin, the orange devil? Oh I don't know I am just not that good with the whole naming end of things. Come on guys let's get some ideas out here for a name for this little lovely.

sabodish · #13 11/01/2006, 12:32 PM

so when will frags be available???

SunnyX · #14 11/01/2006, 12:47 PM

When did this coral become famous??

If so than I have a huge piece that is probably worth a ton of money now.

It became famous when Maximus posted this thread.

Well then I must have some... $80 per half inch ok???

Maximus · #17 11/01/2006, 02:06 PM

Hehe, you guys are too funny! I just found out that it is most definitely not the same piece as from Eric or Atlantis. Mike Paletta commented that he has never seen a piece like this and that he thinks it's a danae. The color is really a metallic orange and just positively glows in the tank, even when the lights are off!

OCDP · #18 11/01/2006, 02:23 PM

Very nice piece.

africangrey · #19 11/01/2006, 02:52 PM

Ok where did you get it from, I want one too.

Yeah I was about to pass this thread up untill I saw it was Maximus posting it...then I knew it had to be nice...
Great looking piece...I know a tank in Sac. could use a frag next year when it's grown out..

Edit: is that the one I saw on thecaptivereef the other day?

slojmn · #21 11/01/2006, 03:42 PM

Looks to be from captivereef.com, at least that is where naka got his...not sure about Sang though. Purdy

Sure is!!

Rays · #23 11/01/2006, 06:02 PM

Here's my Setosa.

They do have several growth forms, but Sang's definitely looks more Danae, it's a beauty!

Maximus · #24 11/01/2006, 06:04 PM

Yes, that is the same one I saw at Atlantis. Awesome coral!! I really wanted a frag of it but Ming wasn't there at the time. It is definitely a different coral than the one I have posted. Rays, may I ask where you got yours from?

Maximus · #25 11/01/2006, 06:06 PM

I just thought of this, but how come I have never seen m setosa's before?
