I recently purchased an encrusting monti from a local reefer who said it was a pokerstar. Upon placing it in my tank, I'm not so sure. All pics of pokerstar I have seen have green/yellow polyps with a blue base. This has a green body, with deep red polyps. Any ideas on what monti this truly is? Sorry, no pic.

Really hard to tell without a pic, and color can be very variable depending upon lighting and nutrient levels. How did it look in his tank?

Here's a pic of the mother colony. Same colors as it is my tank.

Yea looks like a reverse sunset to me also.. More rare and expensive than a pokerstar... I thought i had one also but mine turned out to be an undata.. Are the polyps red or are they more of an orange??
