    No need to apologize. I agree with Steeler and Daniel though.

    Thank you guys. I'll sit him at the bottom of the tank at the farthest end and give him 2 weeks and update you guys on any progress.

    *update* After a week of being on the bottom the monti is showing signs of life. Have noticed some light coloring around the bottom, and some on the sides. Still a ways to go, but well wait and see.

    Thanks everyone

    That's great! Lower light and time is all it needs. Good job. Thanks for the update.

    Update! Well close to a month now and Monti continues to show more darker brown along bottom and sides. Polyps still show good extension so keeping my fingers crossed.

    I don't think it's bleached, check out True Undata and see if it's a match.

    My guess is a sunset montipora. I love montipora, mine are growing like crazy.
