Need help on identification

[FuEl]

Hi SPS pros...any of you know what is this I got? I saved it from being dried up on the beach when the tide swept it up. Dun ask which beach...

[Achilles Tang]

Looks like porites or some monti digitata.

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

now i really think that is very nice .......

[DrJekyl_MrHyde]

can anyone tell me where can i buy this coral ...and how much does it cost ....?

[FuEl]

Dunno..never enquired the price of SPS before...I'm just waiting to see if this frag can recover from the abrasions caused by wave action as it was being washed up the shore..

If it does recover in my tank..then I might venture into sps...all depends on this frag..

Yay...it should survive then...only few inches away from 162 watts of T5 Aquablue..and given great current. Just dosed some kalk.

If the white tips are new growth then it's a Montipora digitata.

[reefer guy]

yup... montipora... i bought a frag months ago from a fellow reefer for $5, now happy n healthy in my tank.... i saw a medium size frag at aq** fa*** last sunday, selling at $30

If the white tips are new growth then it's a Montipora digitata.

The white tips are the skeleton. Think the tissue got rubbed off by attrition as it got washed up the shore. Hope it recovers..

[pospeh]

It should do well.

The green polyps are already extending quite well. Soon it should cover up the dead tips.

You have a good find there.

Paradise reef has the pink and purple versions of what you have got. It is most probably a digitata. The only way to tell is to break the tip of the coral. If you see a definite ring and a core, it is a porite.

OK..will post a pic of it when it fully recovers.
