I got this coral about a week ago and was told Jason Fox Apple Berry Montipora. I am not sure that is it. From what I've heard and seen in other images, it looks like it should have blue polyps near the base. Mine has green polyps. Maybe it morphed a little or maybe it's a different coral? Thanks for looking.
Zombie. Thanks for looking into helping id this coral. I appreciate it. I am fairly certain it is not a Lokani. The Lokani looks as though it grows a little taller and that each branch branches off into multiple branches. This coral I have doesn't seem to do that. It has a single branch with a single polyp on the tip of each branch and additional polyps on the base. I am wondering if those will grow into a short branch as well. Though this frag is small so once it grows out, it will probably be easier to tell what it is and it very well could be a Lokani. I would certainly appreciate the opinions of some of the experts at MACNA. Unfortunately I will not be attending. I ran out of money and don't want to tempt myself any more my credit cards are now frozen haha.
Both of those are deepwaters of some sort. I highly doubt that they are montipora at all - the nodules on Appleberry Monti do not have corallites or polyps.
Check out Suharsonoi, but the length of the branches will vary a lot depending on lighting.
I did get it locally but they got it from Jason Fox and that was what he was told. Maybe there was a mix up or something. No big deal, I love the coral and honestly didn't know what the AppleBerry was before hand anyway so I would have bought it no matter what it was called. Just trying to figure out what it is so I put it in the right spot in my tank. It has shown growth where I placed it now, just not sure if it will table out. If it does, then I would like to move it now before it gets stuck to the rock
So, if it is a deep water, would placing it mid level almost directly under my Kessil be ok for lighting? It seems to like where it is right now as it is showing new growth.
