Default orange/red digitata turned pink

By the way montipora digitata is the most common
montipora sold. It's nice fast growing coral. It
works great for giving the fish something to swim in
and out of.

"digitata" means finger. In other words its a branching coral. The genus
is montipora. So the species is Montipora digitata. There are however a
lot of different types of montipora. Some, I think are the same species
of montipora. Corals growing in different environments will grow
differently and this can make it look like a different species. but
anyway that's getting off topic :-)
