DBTC aussie Blue polyp monti

[xinumaster]

I got this coral from AG it was in a shipment that came from Aussie. The polyps are blue and base is suppose to be lime green, but browning out in my tank. 2 DBTC frags will be available for BAR members. The following rules applies:
-you are a BAR member,
-you'll need to give 2 DBTC of this coral before selling or trading to others.

Lime green base huh I like to try one see if it like my tank

 

[Mr. Ugly]

I'd like to be on the list for this one. I can wait for 2nd generation. Thx!

 

[xinumaster]

El Presidente,
why wait when you can have it now?

Nash,
I'm sure color gonna come back in you tank.

 

[Dyngoe]

I don't want to swoop in front of the big dog, but if he can wait til gen 2 I'll grow out gen 1. My frag tank is going great right now and I'm sure this thing will color up well.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

I'd like one now, but I'll gladly wait for 2nd generation.

I like putting pressure on the swooping in types

Though if you get pico crumbs during the fragging, I do like a challenge

 

[Dyngoe]

I should have known the Ugly was just waiting around the corner. Nothing is desireable until someone else wants it. ;D

I know you like Montis Norm, take this one and rememebr me for Gen2.

This is how this coral is suppose to look like. I didn't know i have a picture of this monti just after it went in my tank.

I must be color blind. I can't tell if the polyps are purple or blue?

 

[Gomer]

oh sweet! Sign me up at whatever line is available on the request form

blue/purple are hard to distinguish sometimes because of how blue shifted our light source is.

 

[LeviT]

That's a perty coral

 

[northbay-reefer]

Perry, that coral has darken up in my tank and the polyps have turned dark blue and the base is yellow. A very nice coral

 

[xinumaster]

That is very nice to hear, Tom.

 

[Ibn]

Tom, mind posting a shot?

 

[iani]

The coloration and appearance implies that its probably a Montipora peltiformis, but I haven't seen any come out of Australia.

 

[xinumaster]

I'm bring the 3 frags for to meeting this saturday for

- Dyngoe
- Gomer
- Nash

I lose the color of the base though when I moved the colony down to the bottom. Right now it will need TLC to bring the color back.

 

[xinumaster]

Frags delivered to Dyngoe and Gomer.

 

[Gomer]

Thanks THe monti in my tank looks to have deep purple polyps on a chocolate brown base. It is under stock sunpod lighting right now. Does this sound right? It looks different from the picture.

 

[LeviT]

I see brown and purple in the pic he posted, i think you need glasses Tony

 

[Gomer]

oops. I was looking at the colony where he said "this is what it is supposed to look like" lol.

 

[xinumaster]

Northbay-reefer was able to bring the color back on the frag I give him. You might have to put it high with lot of flow.
