Please Help me Identify this Monti

Matt4074 · 04/10/2009, 05:59 PM

I bought this monti about 6 months ago, and I haven't been able to identify it. It appears to be a cap, has an orange body, white polyps and a white growth ring.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Looks like a Montipora Setosa, I don't think that is the scientific name but it is a common name.

m. setosa is a scientific name> I dont think thats what this is, because the setosa is a branching coral ime. Any better photos?
