The Montipora I see available are too spindly to be this, at least IMVUO (very-uninformed-opinion.) haha. I had a green montipora
that I killed, sadlol. But I am going to stick with Porites, just on the clumpy and stubby fingers. Check out Porites at the same site.
See how height is achieved by a larger central clump, where in Montipora, height is achieved by longer fingers FROM the clump.
Now, with the COLOR morph, yes, that gives me pause. I am not sure Porites has a blue color morph....hmm. Couple that with
the fact that didn't Scott say he got it from F & S ?? Not sure they offer anything like what he has in porites. What has me
latched onto porites is the "skin" of the coral, the encrusting part. Porites I have seen, even including bisma rock, has this "microfibery"
looking skin like that.
