Help identifying montipora...

[lanman]

I have a green montipora capricornis, with orange polyps. I swear I USED to have a name for it, but I have forgotten, and can't find it anywhere.

 

Hints, Clues, Suggestions???

 

Thanks,

bob

We need pics.

[lanman]

I'll try... it's hard to photograph.

Okay... let's see if I can remember how to do this.

 

The polyps may be a bit more pink than orange. The base is kind of a khaki green.

If there more pink, which they look, I would say strawberry fields monti.. Nice monti regardless..

how about khaki green monti with pink polyps? There's way too many names for corals

Pink polyp capricornis?

I think that's the pink polyp flower petal cap. I've seen that before in other reefer's tank

'Flower petal' is blue polyps with white stripes. I have a beautiful little colony of that one.

 

Only reason I'm looking for a name is because I know it was purchased with a name, but can't remember what it was called. Might be Strawberry Fields, but that just doesn't seem right in that little bit of functional memory that I still have.

 

Thanks for trying - I will just call it my green w/pink-polyp monti cap.

That's very pretty and if you frag and sell I'll buy.

I looked at those pictures when trying to figure out which it is, Jan - but thanks for posting them together. I could probably be persuaded to part with a frag, but would rather trade than sell.
