thought id share this growth pic from about 5 months while i'm at it. That tiny little speck up in the top left corner is what it started as and just next to it is my crayola, excited to see that one grow out.

here is a basic sunset monte that has been through a lot - not at all rare until this recent morph where the base under the polyps is a blue purple and some polyps are turning yellow.

Oh man this sunset is so nice! If you please, what type of lighting is it under and how far down? Amazing!

That second one looks to be a season's greetings/grinch monti.

Not all that rare (at least here in the desert) anymore but one of my favs. Scripps Milli.

Keeping in mind these are photographed under sunlight (5500K or so)

These are the best through the years. Unfortunately, these are all now gone.

they take out second and third mortgages, and sell their children on the black market

What is the green one called? And to Patrick - that first coral (yellow with purple polyps) looks like a lantana monti.

Bump. I just went this through this thread over the weekend. Amazing SPS corals! A real treat to see all these corals. Imagine an SPS coral museum with all the best coloured up SPS from all over the world in one place... That would be awesome.

So in the absence of my dream SPS Coral Museum please post up some new eye candy.

Hey xjoyhugo1980 that first pic, is that a branching version of the encrusting type or do you grow it over a dead coral skelton

They are a branching species, but be prepared to wait a long time for a colony. I've been growing mine for almost two years now and the colony is only the size of a baseball. Much slower than most any acro. HTH

hello Lazylivin and thanks for 29reef reply,
i got this specie for about 8 months, my friend shared it for me,
but it only growths almost 0.5mm, now it's just like a coin,
i think 29reef is right, it should take at least 2 years for a colony.
