Coral ID


Hey guys, traded some LR to a guy in the local reef club for a 1" frag of stuff that looks identical to this. He passed it off as montipora confusa. I'd read up on M.C. before and seen how rare they are. Then I found this pic online and this is exactly what I have. This particular pic was auctioned online as "strawberry's and cream monitpora confusa".

Is this for real? It's been doing great and I've seen some growth already across the frag plus after just a few weeks. Just wondering if that is actually what I have.

Thanks all!

Confusa's aren't that rare anymore. Do you have an actual pic of your coral. it would be easier to identify.
