Wow those colors are awesome. I have a large angled flat rock higher up in my tank that I have been unable to decide what to do with. Maybe I'll have to look around for one of these to try.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=13153828#post13153828 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by MJAnderson
They tend to be slower growers and since the colorful ones are in decent demand among traders, I don't see many full tank pics with large pieces, but here's a larger shot. They are encrusting, so they won't get huge since most of the time there isn't a large enough rock surface.

Thanks for the pics.

1. The Original Superman monti- I’ve distributed this for years now, and this is directly descended from the original colony that isseym328 got years ago, then through Bruddah and Tubs. Read about its history in this thread… ½†frags for $50 and ¾†to 1†frags for $75
A shot of my mother colony…
2. Tyree rainbow monti- Another famous monti… the polyps on the growing edge are red, and towards the center green, with polyps in between other shades… another one I’ve had for years… Frags I’m offering are recently fragged, and some show the rainbow colors of the edge and some don’t because they aren’t encrusted yet… ½†frags for $60 and ¾†to 1†frags for $60
One of my mother colonies showing the pattern…
3. Tyree sunset monti- Along with the Superman and rainbow these make the top three encrusting must have montis… yellow/green polyps on an electric red base… ½†frags $60… ¾†frags $85
One of my mother colonies…
4. Vesuvius monti- A monti I got wild that I’ve had for years. This encrusting monti has bright red polyps with a base color that is bright yellow with large verrucae (bumps) when under optimum conditions. Do a search on RC and you could see many people who’ve been happy with it. Frags I have do not have the base colored up yet so I’m offering them cheaper… ½†$35… ¾†to 1†$50
5. Copps’ reverse sunset monti- I got this as a wild tiny piece a few years ago and have grown it out, with no frags out yet. I’m ready to frag this guy… it has a bright green to yellow base when happy with red polyps… bluer lighting gives a green base and lower Kelvin gives a yellower base… opposite colors of the sunset… ½†frags $75
6. Hulk montipora- Another encrusting monti I got wild that has become a superstar. Green polyps over a purple base that sometimes turns blue on the tips as shown in the pic. As with most encrusting montis like this, high light, low nutrients, and good flow cause the best base color with good verrucae growth. ½†frags with great color and verrucae growth… $75 without verrucae (this will develop under good conditions of course) $60
