What's up w/this rainbow monti

[Ibn]

Got this as a rainbow from Daniel and it looked exactly like one for awhile. Had an issue w/salinity and it bleached and receded quite a bit. It's been coming back for the past month or so, but the polyps have changed. They're now all orange and cover pretty much the entire base where you can't really see it any more. Anyone else ever seen this before?

This sucker is actually brighter than the orenji danae...

Thats pretty cool. Time to make it into a new designer coral =)

Where's the line start for the frags

 

[Ibn]

Might take awhile, unless you're looking for a 4mm frag, haha.

This sucker is an uber slow grower. All that white around it is the disc that it was mounted on.

 

[GreshamH]

4mm, eh, Jim's given me smaller

(waiting for Jim to chime in now)

 

[Ibn]

Was it intentionally?

Gonna wait until it covers over the old skeleton. Once it does, chips will be made.

 

[GreshamH]

Yup, very intentionally I his defense they did grow out to be normal size frags

I have a non-lineaged Rainbow that has big polyps like that.

New growth on Rainbows have orange polyps. The older growth turns green. So seems to make sense that it would go all orange after bleaching.

I have an orange cap frag that turned fluorescent pink orange. Brighter than setosa or Orenji. I fell asleep and had left it for 5 hours overnight on my kitchen table in 8oz cold tank water and .5ml Povidone. It's a way crazy looking cap now

4mm size that's for me. Just about all the room I have left
