Emster, Tank Of The Month is definitely in your future. Wow, WOW, WOW! Your tank really is... perfect.
SJfishguy, same thing. Your tank is a thing to behold. The way you have the clams mixed in with the different types and shapes of corals. And those colors...
If my tank ever ends up half as nice as the two of yours, I will be very pleased.

I've tried the same thing with Monti digitata. I've found that they don't sting each other, but some colors definitely grow faster. My green puts out a base very fast that smothers everything. My german blue grown and branches so fast that it tends to block out the others. the pinks and green with orange polyps just can't keep up!

I have tried a few and it did not work out, I have not tried the digi's yet. I have a really bright green cap that I'm thinking about trying with the others but it grows real slow and I'm afraid it would just get taken over.
I put some of the frags in my display this morning, will try and get some pics of those soon. Thanks again for the compliments!

I have about 6 or 7 frag discs that I made up, they have been in the frag tank for awhile now, going to combine 3 or 4 of them together and put them in my display tomorrow. Don't know if I posted a pic of my display but here is an old one....

I do think this is a fabulous idea. I fragged two caps last night and stuck them close to each other.
One is naturally light brown, the other's a reddish colour. Cannot wait till they grow together!
For good measure, I fragged approx 2 polyps of an acro, but didn't have the balls to glue directly to my new experiment. I'm sure the monti's will outgrow the frag and cover it up quick sharp.
I have a sick monti (encrusting type) which was badly stung by an LPS and is having trouble recovering. I plan on fragging that (heavily) and will experiment the next time I "accidentally" frag something.
Keep the pics coming guys, loving this.
