Monti Cap Growing into Zoas....

[skibum9884]

My Red Monti Cap is growing into my zoa's, and I really like the way it looks now, however don't want the monti cap to grow any more as to not shade the zoas. Do you think that the monti cap will stop growing in that direction as it is coming into contact with them, or should I frag. I'd rather not, as it looks great as it is now......

I think the cap will eventually cover the zoanthids. It may grow up a little at first, but it will probably shade them eventually.

Mine did the same thing to some of my blues, break a piece off, so the zoanthids are getting some light, it is a cycle, you will always have to do it unless you move one or the other.
