Andrew,

Thought I'd show you the Montipora too.

[+ACampbell]

Good shot. That might be a cap? not sure....

That coral is extremely hard to photograph because of its shape.

[fishypets]

200% Sure that's a cap.

[Robb in Austin]

Cap what?

Looks like all the pictures of Monitpora capricornis I've seen.

[cmanning]

It is a montipora capricornus. There are coral "species" of the Genus Montipora.

For example : montipora digitata, montipora spongodes, montipora tuberculosa ......at the list goes on.

I get the genus/species thing, I just thought they were saying it was not a Montipora at all.

[fishypets]

Sorry- "Cap" is short for montipora capricornus.

[+ACampbell]

Sorry... When I think of monty, I don't think of cap. I think of encrusting goodness.

Yes, I spell monty with a "y". It just kewler that way.

Ok, kewl. I didn't think I was off on my id, but y'all have more experience than me so I wasn't sure.

Monty python should be a coral too. I know there are some bacteria named after the Beatles, so someone should

hook up Graham and the boys!
