    It's crazy how different the pictures make it look. Now it looks like an acro. Nice piece for sure

    I did talk to my friend he said you should kill a piece and take a picture of the skeleton.lol He says he stopped trying to id Montis years ago.lol I do think the latest picture looks more like an Acro though.
    The polyps seem awfully far apart though.:confused:

    Hi guys. :)

    I have no clue, the coral looks too beat up and there really is no corallite structure to compare with. I will look around though. Evolved might know.
