thanks for the quick reply, your polyps are nice and big, looks like mine is the same color :) How long have you had yours?

[GSMguy]

only a month is just starting to encrust. color is great.

It is either the confusa or vietnamensis....

I found a perfect picture for you all to compare. The one in front which is similar to the picture above is vietnamensis or confusa, the one behind is M. undata...

The branching makes me think spongodes.

Looks like a green monti confusa. These are a popular bali mariculture piece, I've seen them in a couple of stores recently.

Here's mine:

It definately looks like Confusa, Undata is usually more smooth skeleton, skeleton color is kind of a light gun metal or metalic color with white polyps. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
