Default Monti ID?
I bought this 3 weeks ago at a LFS. It looked pretty bad but I saw one little dot of purple.



In 3 weeks this has colored up to this





I knew it would purple, up maybe a hulk.. but the now some of the polyps are going orange.. any ideas?

What's with all the holes though? Is it a Christmas tree worm rock? I thought they only associated with Porites sp. though...

I have no idea what they are!.. this piece was just harvested and shipped in. There doesnt seem to be anything in the holes.

I have some ultraman, and this ones polyps are not as green as the UM. These are more of a yellowish green.

wow that'll be quite the show piece when it purples all over and has green polyps! do you think it will turn entirely purple soon, or have mixed colors? either way it looks sweet on the last pic
