Please post pics of your Sunset monti

[Maximus]

I just got this frag from Ultimatefrags.com and I must say that I am impressed! I hear the sunset is a fast grower. Does anyone have a nice, large colony of it? I would love to see some pics. Here is a pic of mine:

ive yet to see one larger than the frag you've got, which looks nice.

It looks like you've got the encrusting monti's covered

 

[Maximus]

Thanks Purple Haze. Encrusting montis are one of my favorite sps corals.

Bottom right corner. Hard to see the green polyps at that distance.

I got mine from killercorals.com. Nice sized frag shipped well. I highly recommend them. I still have to get a pic.

I think this is what you are asking for. Sorry, I am still trying to figure out how to take pictures, reduce the size and get them on these threads. Hope it works!

 

[gtheref]

That didn't work. Let's try again!

 

[Maximus]

Very nice gtheref! How long have you had it? What is the growth rate like?

 

[Purple Haze]

is it just me or do encrusting Monti's grow fairly slow?

I have had it for less than a year. It has probably grown a little more than double the size. Most of my encrusting monti's do grow pretty slow. I do have one that started out slow but is growing a lot faster than the rest of them.

My rainbow danae started as a 1/2"x1/4" frag 6 mo. ago and is now about 1"square. Took about 4 mo to get going. Pretty slow.

I called mine is SpiderWoman. It's growing well in my tank.

NICE...

It would be cool to have that and then a rainbow (rainbow is OJ on green right?) because then they would be oposite of eachother.

Here is mine, I bought it from Tyree it is called a White Polyp Sunset Monti. The picture doesn't really do it any justice it is a nice orange color and the polyps on top are white. I would love one of the green polyp ones.

I really love encrusting Monti's as well. Too bad they're such slow growers . . . and hard to find someone who's willing to frag and trade some pieces.

Hey Guys, I just recently aquired a half " frag of a superman Danae and a nice size (about 3 ") orange Danae. I love these guys and i want to know the best way to take care of them! Can any of you guys that give me a few pointers???

I have a 120G (2' W X 2' H X 4 ' W) w/ 2 250W Halides and 2 96W Actinics.

Do they like a lot of light? High flow, med flow, low flow?

The mother colony of the Superman Danae was placed prety high up in the tank. I figured my frag would like the same.

Now I am just waiting for a frag of the Sunset...

Appreciate the advice! Thanks!

I should place it top high with med. flow. That SM requires a lot of light. Good luck for that coral.
