    I bought these last week and the LFS worker told me they were montipora plating and digitata, which was good because I wanted something a little more forgiving for my first sps.

    It was brought to my attention on another forum that these are not digitata and monti caps...is this true?

    If not what are they? I can get better pics when I get home this evening if need be.

    thanks
