hello,

i was just looking for some info about monti and chalice coral. are there any major differences? do the montis grow faster than chalices? are there sub types of montis or chalices? for instance... acans have lords, enchinatas, and ect... do some hold their color or bleach easier than others? ones that grow faster?

i have seen some very bright and beautiful chalices, but haven't got any yet.

i have a couple montis and really like the idea that someone gave me about sticking them on the return

i think adding some of each to my tank would be a great addition, but looking for some more info first.
 
Well the main difference is montis are SPS while chalices are LPS. Montis will typically like higher light and flow while chalices like more mild flow and mild light depending on species. There are different species of each. Chalices will often send out long feeders with the potential of severely stinging corals nearby. I've had to relocate corals near my chalices.
