    not even constant exposure to T5s can take away that pasty Ohio suntan!

    I am using the "upload a file" button next to the "post reply". The same way I have been doing it and getting full sized pictures. I will see if I can get a bigger one.

    Obviously my camera and picture taking skills are lacking since I couldn't get the camera to take a picture when it was all the way in focus.

    I looked at all 3 of the ones you listed and my untrained eye could not tell the difference from them. If this picture doesn't help, what characteristic would distinguish these three apart?

    I vote spongodes, I have a large colony of it. That frag will color up to a nice neon green

    Yeah I saw the parent coral and it is a beautiful neon green. I am leaning towards the spongodes as well. i am growing quite fond of montipora and know this will not be my last.

    I love montipora! My starry night, spongodes, and tyree sunset are all growing together on the same rock. After 2 years it's neat to see how they've grown. That spongodes is a fast grower
