 What's this on my montipora? Attached is a photo of a montipora that appears to have something coming through the surface (the rusty brown spots). If a montipora gets a pustule, I would say that is what it is. The second photo is a similar spot on a different montipora that I obtained from the same source. Can anybody identify what I am dealing with and how to handle it? Thanks. LL

| Re: What's this on my montipora? I'm no coral id expert but the first photo appears to be more like Pavona rather than a Monti. Sorry I'm unfamiliar with whatever it is on the coral. Perhaps some more brighter more in focus shots would help.
