My SPS groth thread (and ID please)

[gig]

OK, thought I'd finally get around to posting a growth thread for my tank, which is primarily SPS, but I have some LPS, but I caught the bug for colored sticks last year and have gotten much better with my husbandry skills:

1) I believe this is a Sunset Monti, got this guy cheap as he was a browned our frag that fell off the frag rack at my LFS

2) Spongedes

3) Red Planet

4) Poker Stars Monti is what I believe this one is, but can anyone confirm?

5) Unknown Monti, maybe superman, maybe not

Looking really good Gig!

#4 is definitely not a pokerstar monti, and I can't tell you what it is. I think Rick (firebreatha) has it too and could tell you though.

#5 is definitely a rainbow monti.

Can't help with the acros, most likely they don't have common names.

Keep up the good work!

thanks guys, some of these were really cheap too, between $5-6 up to $10 per frag (except the red planet)...last year I had tank issues, had lost alot of SPS frags and LPS that I'd had for a while, but got things turn around and started to try going SPS primarily, doing regular bi-monthy water changes, etc. But I wasn't going to spend $30+ on frags or mini colonies for fear of losing them....so we'll see how it goes.

Where at?? PM me, I'm in the same kind of boat, the heat wave crashed my tank and I need to re-up the SPS.

The frags are looking really nice, great growth, in a few months you'll be sitting on some mini-colonies!
