Nice shots. I have a hard time getting the polyp colors to show like yours do on the stylophoras.
It makes me happy to take pictures of my corals that I feel are doing well. Some sort of weird synergy.

Great work. I love the polyp extension! I have three different Stylophora and several Acros with great PE, but my Undata, Mystic Sunset, & Cap only have good PE. My Sunset, Reverse Sunset, & Setosa have just a little PE. Any thoughts on what promotes your great PE? Maybe I'm treating all montis as the same even though they may like more or less light than each other?

Thanks.
In my experience, Montipora can be treated reasonably similarly as a group. They're not quite as light hungry as acros but can adapt. The only times I've had issues with Monti PE is when they were under attach from nudibranchs, or when bulbs were way past their prime. Are you feeding them? I use freeze dried zooplankton in the form of Coral Frenzy. It may not solve your PE issue but could give them a reason to be less shy. My acros like it too.
That's a chubby fish in your avatar! Nice.
