meacret Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Picked up a piece today that will be rehabbing for a bit but nonetheless I'd like to put an I.D. On it, thoughts? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roush2000 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Thats my guess. Has sort of a smooth encrusting monti look/feel to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefNewby82 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 My guess is encrusting monti or porites...last I would ID is a favite of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Tough to say what named coral it is, possibly purple haze monti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meacret Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well the pics are deceptive because it's more of a salmon color and not purple at all.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryansweet Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Looks like porites to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Roush, I think it depends on which picture you look at : ) But I've always considered the purple haze purple on purple. I have seen some with more blue base and purple polyps though. In all honesty I don't think you can identify that guy until its back to normal. Looks pretty bleached out atm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
