Here are a few good pics of Montipora's
I had a the Monti bug last year pretty bad so now it is just time for them to grow. I recently sold all the nice monti caps just because the space they were taking up. They got a much larger and nicer home so I was happy to let them go. This is in a 125 gallon but they were moved to a 1000 gallon reef

Anyway here are some pics

Montipora Hispia

Green with Blue poylped cap

Better down shot with the orange cap growing underneat it

Yellow montipora Vietnamensis It has purple tips when it grows large enough

Close up of the tips

another green with poylped cap, Different growth to this one, it had a small purple rim, not big enough to see in most pics though

Here is the best pic I got of it

 

[Dav]

A few more
Rainbow montipora colony from the side

Down shot, Cool colors on this one

Small frag of it shows the colors nicely

Sunset montipora when I first got it

A little later but the poylps were in this day, Need to get another pic

Green montipora vietnamensis

A little later, I now have two this size, a good grower for sure

A different rainbow monti, Not sure if this one is going to branch or encrust, needs a few months to see

Red montipora Nodusa?? Not sure yet

A different red encrusting montipora, I am holding this one for a friend while he is moving

 

[Dav]

a yellow with blue poylp cap I kept this one, but it needs some work to get the colors right, here is when I got it

A few months later, I think it needs very high light to keep the base lightly colored up, but it grows too quick for me to give it that in my new tank set, May need to move it to another tank

And lastly a older FTS, to see how cramped all this was

Now I have moved up to a 220 gallon in-wall with less montipora caps and more encrusting and branching types.
This pic is horrible but it will look much better than the old tank in a year

The blue polyp last one might not color up as it looks like tyree flower petal. Tan with blue polyps.
