I'm starting to lean towards getting a purple monti cap as my "show coral" if you will. After doing a little internet window shopping I only saw two different purple monti caps. The "Idaho Grape" Limited Editions Montipora undata Grape
which I have seen for sale on several different sites and averages around $30 a frag and then "Vivid's Ultimate Purple Cap" Buy Vivid's Ultimate Purple Cap Online | Vivid Aquariums
which Vivid claims is far superior to the Idaho Grape and sells for $75 a frag. I don't mind spending more than I normally would for this coral as it will basically be my main attraction of the tank but then again I don't want to pay $100+ ($75 + shipping) for a frag that is basically the same thing as the Idaho Grape and TBH I really hate to pay for shipping at all. If anyone with experience with either one of the corals could share some insight I would appreciate it. Or for anyone who doesn't have these but has any insight on purple monti's altogether it would be nice to hear too.
