Meteor Shower Montipora?

noirsphynx · 05/21/2009, 08:21 AM

Has anyone ever seen a meteor shower montipora? I have a frag of what I was told is a meteor shower monti coming but can't find anything on the net for pictures.

Montipora or Cyphastrea? There are plenty of meteor shower cyphastreas out there.

I bought a monti sold as a "super meteor shower monti" but it turned out to actually be a pink sandollar. The situation was win win either way.

Nope, not a cyphastrea, it's a monti. Here's the frag pic
I'll get the frag next week so I'll get to see it better then. I thought it looked similar to an undata but the seller says it's not.

The superman is a different color. I just realized the link doesn't work so I fixed it.

That was my initial thought too so I asked the supplier and he said no and that it was a meteor shower monti.

This looks like a Montipora Hispida to me.
