This was imported as Montipora Undata. I believe that's right. But does some of you have a "popular" name for it? It's not colored up yet, but it looks like it will get purple growth-area and red-ish base?

Hope some of you recognize this :)

Didn't think of Verrucosa at all. But it looks similar to the pictures on sdmas.com.

Here's my other Verrucosa.

I'm still in doubt. I also thought it was Undata:beer:

polyps are white, and edges have a purple tint, I'd say undata. I only have undata, and polyps are white and purple tint on edges.

You cant identify species by colour.

My vote is Montipora Verruculosus. From sdmas - "Plates are covered with dome-shaped verrucae which are of very uniform size and are uniformly spaced".

Pretty sure that it's not a Danae. I have severeal Danae and they have much smaller "dots" standing up.
