New pickup. I'd please...

[totion]

I got this from a LFS today. In their Raceway under kessils it was purple with green polyps/highlights. I can't remember what he said it was. I do remember he said he thought it was a confucius something. It was branching and parts of the same frag were plating.

I can try to get better pictures tomorrow when the lights come on if needed. Google wasn't much help...

I agree with Rob

That piece of it does look similar to psammocora, but after checking out Ora (where their get their corals) I believe it's a montipora spongodes. The piece the frag came off of was branching, plating, and entrusting.

And I feel like a derp. He said confusa or spongodes. Took me forever to remember. Confucius lol. Derp.

I agree. I wasn't sure while looking at the first picture, but as soon as I scrolled down to the second pic I thought spongodes. If it is, it's pretty ****** off right now. They're pretty hardy, but you should still be careful with it.

That pic is after a long drive, temp/drip acclimating for an hour, and 5 minutes in coral rx. I'd be mad too lol
