That doesn't look like a Montipora Digitata to me. The M. Digitata are branching species, which usually shoot upward. Yours looks like an uncrusting species of Montipora, rather than the Digitata. JMO.

Looks quite nice though! I have a slightly orange Encusting Monti. growing over some coralline near the top of the tank, I find it extremely beautiful.

digitata is branching...and so is Montipora hispida...

danae,and confusa are the ridge types, although digitata can take ridge form as well.

but the pictured one is a species of branching digitata (it's a confusing picture because i took only the bottom portion of the polyps...)

here is a picture of the same piece...just further away

Oh, I see it Phistio. I thought the first picture was the whole coral, which was creeping along the rockwork, rather than branching out. The coral looks quite healthy! It has great polyp extension! :-D
