It was that frag that started me wanting a piece like that as a showpiece. I'd really love a base like blue or purple but with different color polyps or a different color rim to give it some contrast if that even exists.

I bought one out of two pieces of that "cap". It's actually not a cap, but a Montipora Foliosa (as I just recently learned).

Montipora capricornis

Montipora foliosa

Looks like different growth patterns and directions of ridges along the plates.

Huh. The foliosa seems to be more defined. I think I like that one better.
