Sunset Monti

[chrisdaphish]

hi i was wondering if i coudl see some picture of hte sunset monti.. i have a chance to get a piece of it.. but i am not sure if it is the REAL thing or not=) the base is hte nice creamy orange and hte pollyps are green.. but it seems like hte pollyps are not as extended as they normally are in pictures i see.. is it possible that there is a sunset monti impersonator? any picture or comments would be awesome. thanks

how rare do u think it is? and how would u compare its pollyp extension to that of other montis? like the rainbow or superman.. is it about the same extension wise? and what kind of flow/light do u have it in=) thanks guys GREAT pictures=PP

I am new to all this so I really don't know if it is rare, but the rate with which it grows I can't think it could be that rare, however I did pay a pretty penny for it and didn't really find anyone else other than atlantis sell it...
I do get good polyp extension though, probably the same as anyother monti I have..

Those are beautiful. Much nicer than the supermans in my opinion.

what are you guys doing for yours---lighting, flow, etc? i got a frag and it lost most of its color--i think i put it too close to the lights too soon. the polyps are still extending and green, but it has lost the orange, and it isnt regaining color---its been a few weeks now

I placed it med light (under 250w HQI), flow. It does not require a lot of light as the SM. Good luck Jwalter103!

Whoa, thats alot of PE. You can't even see the base!

you must be doing something right!

thanks for sharing!

My sunset has more PE than the superman. And it looks just like the one in the pic.

I found it needs less light than the superman to color up.

They're both nice corals, but if I had to choose one, it'd be the superman.

The sunset seems to grow more quickly though, it encrusted to the rock I glued it to in about a week!
