Dasani Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The Montipora Database My new 'specialty' is Montipora corals. I have decided to make a database of all the Montipora's out there and to learn more about this amazing type of coral. Species include: Montipora aequituberculata Montipora capitata Montipora capricornis Montipora confusa Montipora danae Montipora digitata Montipora peltiformis Montipora setosa Montipora sp. Montipora spongodes Montipora tuberculosa Montipora undata Montipora verrucosa Montipora aequituberculata Montipora capitata Montipora capricornis Montipora confusa Montipora danae Montipora digitata Montipora peltiformis Montipora Setosa Montipora sp. (Monti's that were morphed in captivity) Montipora spongodes Montipora tuberculosa Montipora undata And probably the coolest monti colony I have ever seen The Montipora Picture Thread on Nano-Reef The Montipora Show Off Thread on R2R The most amazing Montipora video ever If you would like to share some pictures of your montipora(s), please feel free to. Also, feel free to ask questions or just talk. Please make suggestions as well. Thanks for viewing! Link to comment
LarryMoeCurly Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nice job! I don't have any montiporas, but looking at these pics makes me want one. Link to comment
Dasani Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Nice job! I don't have any montiporas, but looking at these pics makes me want one. Thanks! I love them. So unique and colorful. Also very easy to take care of. Link to comment
yoshii Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Awesome I thought rainbow montis were M. danae(sp?)? What about M. samarensis? (Very similar to a digi, the branches look slightly different) Link to comment
Dasani Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Awesome I thought rainbow montis were M. danae(sp?)? What about M. samarensis? (Very similar to a digi, the branches look slightly different) Thanks! Could be. I just googled the species and those were the top pics. I sometimes got the same monti's on the same species. I will have to go back and edit it later when I learn a little more about them. Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Tuberculosa & Tiberculosis... Coincidence? Link to comment
Dasani Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Tuberculosa & Tiberculosis... Coincidence? That's what I thought. But I did some research and tuberculosa is a legit species of monti. No clue where the name came from though. Link to comment
Squared Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Looking at your pictures and an anwser I got from a thread I made, I think I can safely say that I don't have a superman monti; I have a rainbow monti (m. tuberculosa). Link to comment

Dasani Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Just found a monti show off thread on R2R. Some pretty awesome monti's on there. Link to comment
montipora Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Montipora vietnamensis Montipora dilatata Montipora florida Montipora stilosa those are what I can think of right now that are not on your list, too tired at the moment lol. Link to comment
Dasani Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Montipora vietnamensisMontipora dilatata Montipora florida Montipora stilosa those are what I can think of right now that are not on your list, too tired at the moment lol. Thanks. I had a few on the list and when I searched them, they looked the same as a different species, so I just skipped over them. I will go in and add more when I can find a good pic that shows the difference. Link to comment
