Montipora Show Off Thread

Anyone have any idea what kind of Monti this one is? Thinking of picking it up from a local hobbyist. Thanks!

Sunset and Tropic Thunder that I almost gave up on but they are happy now. Regretting placement as they are really starting to spread.

I forget the name of this one it has light blue polyps, but it's really taking off lately its going to get cut back, it's taking over the back glass.

Small wild piece I called the “Trap Jaw” Monti because the original color reminded me of the cartoon character. It’s similar to the Rainbow and Fruity Pebbles Montis where higher light turns red/orange polyps to green and the base gets brighter blue.

My own naturally grafted Aquaman Montipora, originally from Jesus at Vivid who lost the colony shortly after because it absolutely does not like being cut with a saw and will start to die wherever you cut it. It has to be broken with clippers into frags. This picture is from 2012 and precedes all grafted Montipora except WWC Grafted Cap. It encrusts and then forms thicker plates. Ben from BSA Corals can verify that information and had or may still have one. Ask him about where and who found the first “Bounce” mushroom he ever purchased too.
