monti caps mounting

[maynardjames]

just got 2 pcs of green monti caps today. should i glue them on rock where i want them or is there a better way. has anyone glued to overflow where they start to cover it up. or would it be best left on rock. got 2 pcs about 5 x 5 inches for 20 bucks. i thought it was a pretty good deal. any mounting advice is welcome

put them anywhere really.just remember as they grow any other coral under them will get shaded.

they don't need super strong light, so I put mine lower in the tank....that way they won't shade other corals as much.

My orange is getting to the point that it would be shading a bit if it were up higher in the tank.

i have a powerful t5 lighting system. i dont mind a little shading. just don`t want to burn my caps. do you glue them or use epoxy to attach?

i just used glue the gel stuff.start them low and slowly move them up.

I usually just shove em' into a crevice and let them take hold on their own only takes a few weeks before they encrust. and I love taking advantage of my montis shading ability the dendros and other non-photo corals love being under them.
