I've had this frag of monti for about 6 months, it has hardly grown but recently within the past couple of weeks the polyps have started to turn the brightest baby blue color i have ever seen. Sorry for the not so good pic, but unfortunately there is an orange stick in the way of getting a real good shot.

Very nice piece, but it doesn't really look like the reverse superman/mystic sunset. I have a look alike piece that I belive is the same as Reverse Superman/Mystic Sunset, and it looks like a different species of Montipora. The blue polyps on the reverse superman, mystic sunset and my look alike are much bluer and only half of the polyp is blue and have a different polyp shape. The polyps on my orange digi do that too sometimes usually at new grow areas in higher flow, and I have also seen Montipora Nodosa with bluish white polyps. It looks like M. Nodosa to me.
 
Yeah it came in as a no name monti at a local shop. At first just the bottom row of polyps turned blue. Slowly its spreading, it would be sweet if eventually they all turned blue.
 
hmmmm...looks familiar....is that an orange nodosa with brown polyps?
