Wondering if
anyone has any cool montis they want to show off (aside from the caps and
digitatas). � I�d love to see any uncommon monties ... confusa, stellata,
undata, verrucosa, encrusting montis, etc.
I have one that has started to become one of my favorites as it grows
out. I posted it in my tank pics thread ... but i'll post it here
again. |

Jeff: No frags yet. One of the slowest growing corals I have! 
For lights I am running 1x250 DE 14K (Hamilton - will go to a Phoenix
when its time to change) and 6x24w T5 HO (4xBluePlus and 2xAqua)Susan: That is very cool looking ... wonder what it is. Does it grow fast? |

Corey , How do you like your T5 lights? I'm thinking of getting some to suppliment my halides, right now I have two 150W hqi's with 20k abs but I'm either going to go with T5 whites or get another pendant and run a 10k bulb in it. What do you suggest? ------------- 335G Reef TOTM. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2015/2/aquarium ReefKeepers TOTM Feb. 2012 http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/index....k-of-the-month & |

This picture doesn't capture it well, but I like this monti (or is it porites?)

Susan: That is very cool looking ... wonder what it is. Does it grow fast? No, it grows pretty slow. It was advertised as Montipora samarensis but I can't find a picture with that name that looks like it. Hmmm - I just found this website: http://zoo2.zool.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~hirose/Marine/corals/montip.htm - http://zoo2.zool.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~hirose/Marine/corals/montip. htm It looks like I do have a samarensis. ------------- Susan Matney Farmington, UT |

Jon: Thats a beauty ... I'm just a newbie. I prob still wouldn't know
the difference between a monti and porites after i had read for a
couple of hours. LOL. I do remember seeing it when i came over, but i
didn't get a nice picture of it! I think you had to many nice things to take pictures of! Did I ever give you a disk. I bet I forgot!  Joe: Nice! Love the color .. What lighting are you keeping it under? Susan: That looks like it will turn out really nice .. and starting some branches soon. Is it pink w/ orange polyps? |
