Does the pink smoothie montipora digi exist anymore??

Werdlone · Mar 29, 2009

I think this may be the most difficult coral to get. At least for me. I have been looking for a frag for over 2 years since I lost my mini colony, and cannot find it anywhere. Some online stores have it posted but "out of stock". I never really see anyone with it on the reef sites. Does this coral still exist???

Maybe ask Victor at WWC.

Yes but it's not easy to get. World wide coral has one but not for sale I saw it in person a few weeks ago. I would love a frag of it and the supper man digi they have.

I got one from WWC a while back, don't know if they have any ready for sale or not. Doesn't like being fragged. Mine hasn't grown much, but is doing well. Polyps are still nice and pink, but lost a little bit of the green in the base when my alk went all crazy. Getting nice again.

I have the one from Victor and its not the OG piece and Victor told me that straight up when I asked him before I ordered it, but its really close.

The og is still out there as well

Less light helps to keep the green as well.

Can someone post a pic of what it looks like??

AquaWorldPSC · Mar 29, 2009

This picture is from Victor's website

Ahhh Thanks

I have that but since I have no room mid tank and had to put it higher up, it has lost the green coloration. It's an orange color skin with bright pink polyps. When I up grade to my 120 I should have more than enough room to move it lower in the tank, I am hoping it will regain it's green skin then...but truthfully, the orange / pink combo is pretty hot too.

Any pics of the OG? Are they pretty close/identical to one another in coloration?

AquaWorldPSC · Mar 30, 2009

yeah they are pretty much the same you couldn't really tell the difference.

Anyone have a frag of the OG?

JOSE CASAS · Mar 30, 2009

I have the OG and the one from Vic and they both look the same.

Yep. The OG definitely encrusts more before it begins to branch. They are very similar. A very cool piece indeed.

I have mine sitting on a frag rack and will try and get a picture from the top. It has gotten to about 2.5 inches around and is now sending up at least 6 to 8 stalks ranging from 1/4" to 3/4" tall. It took a while for it to really start growing...about 7 months or so to settle in.

The funny thing is Mark......the pictured WWC piece is the one I ended up with....

Ultimateaquariums · Apr 7, 2009

I got one from WWC a while back. It's a crazy slow grower which is weird for a Digi.

Yep, but I have the OG now Doug. I will be selling off the WWC version. Its getting moved from my display this week.

I have one I got from a thermos swap last year....It has to get real intense light to capture the green....My two new placed frags are really growing and encrusting fast...Will try to get some pics soon!
