Just trimmed a bucket full of corals

Had to break this 2 years worth of growth. Due to space

Beautiful coral! I’m new and get the two confused but is this montipora or mushroom?

Montipora

Montipora

I was thinking so as well. It seems like the plating kind, it’s something I’m highly considering in my 100g as I love the layered look and ledges it provides.

They're definitely awesome. Give them lots of space because they do grow real big real fast!

How much space would you say?

Whoever much u want them to grow!
And they r kinda weird imo, some people can grow them, others can’t, I can grow acros and goni, but not plating montis

I would hazard a guess about 12" x 12". It'd depend on your parameters I think.

just so you know, my tank is 30 inches deep and this coral covered about 24x30'' area

i removed entire thing, but in sections as i wasn't able to lift the whole thing at once, and if i did i would damage other coral colonies around
