blue polyp incrusting monti?

[currentking]

has anyone seen a blue polyp monti? If so, what color is the base? I just picked up a colony from a lfs and it was under pc's. It is brown at this point. I put it under my MH warlier and now it is showing signs of blue polyps.

But I've seen others with a brown base, and yet others with purple bases... So I guess its a wait and see kind of thing...

I have two blue-polyped monti's. One is a montipora peltiformis - which may turn from a brown base to a yellowish-green base. I also have the Tyree blue polyped whatever thingy-ma-jig.

Don't try to guess...it's just more fun to wait and see!!

I have what we believe is a M. Monasteriata. It's purple with blue polyps.

PSam, I found that moving my peltiformis up into more light, the whole base turned glowing yellowish-green. Really freaky pretty. The polyps also turned more blue.

Yours reminds me of mine.

i did the saem moving it up toward the light makes the base turn real yellow..

[seapug]

So the consensus is these look best in lower light? I have one that's brownish beige with blue polyps in strong light. Less light will make that brown turn green?

[MechEng99]

I think they look waaay better in higher light. Going from brown with blue polyps to yellow with blue polyps was awesome (unless you like brown corals.)

[seapug]

so everyone seems to think higher light makes the base more green, eh?

I have a couple of these morphs.The higher you go towards your lights the more yellow it will turn IMO.
