Montipora Setosa

[rutz81]

Recently I purchased a frag of a montipora setosa from upscales(they also have it at frag farmer) It is still small(about 1.5"x1.5") and I was wondering how it will look when it grows up. If anyone has colony size pic that you could post. Or, if anyone could give me their placement, speed of growth info.

TIA,
Dave

Here it is now, about 3 weeks in my tank.

Great pickup. I have seen a frag about 2X3" and it looks amazing.

This is mine from upscales, after about two mos. it is now showing moderate growth.

I also have a 1/4 " frag that was broken in the bag, it is encrusting, but hasn't grown yet.

What's the recommended placement (light level and flow)?

TIA

Mine is two thirds up in mod to strong flow.

Here's mine. It is the one in the middle. Stays a nice pinkish/orange under high light and grows fast.

Must be nice to live so close to such a great store. Have enough Upscales frags in there? For a monti, it seems to be a slow grower in terms of the speed my other monti's grow at.

I am spoiled. Upscales by far gets some of the coolest corals I have seen. They also have magic acro dust they sprinkle to color up the brownest of acros. Most of everything I put in my display comes from Upscales.
