which is not a cap.


THere are a couple of caps that almost get digitate in nature. They grow 'spikes'. I'm not talking nodules here, but like 1-2" vertical projections on the cap. Really cool growth form.

IMO Leng Sy cap

I know but it would be a great center piece. You do not have a Yellow Capricornis.

I just added this frag and it is stunning!!

I have some others as well and I love all of my plating montis!!

I'll second the blue cap. Its an amazing piece and I havent seen to many people with it.

I'm quite biased here, but the favorite monti.cap that I've seen is one that's in my tank, I've dubbed the "Phoenix Cap" because it has literally come back from the ashes (brown looking) to be a really bright orange base with really bright pink polyps & rim. Now I just need to see what structure it forms when it grows out

Although I have heard of the blue cap from another thread but have yet to see one, I am interested if anyone has a picture of it.

Orange caps...Easiest and fastest to grow. Under the right conditions and lighting, you get a beautiful deep red color. Here's the centerpiece of my tank for a couple of years until it got too large for its own good.

i like green with purple rims like the leng sy... i have never gotten a leng sy, but i do have something sorta similar (not nearly as striking though)

What's so spectacular about the Leng Sy green w/purple rim cap? It's just a green w/purple rim cap, nothing special.

That's what im trying to figure out; heck, someone just gave me a nice frag of the same green w/ purple fringe thing for free a couple days ago!

my favorite cap belonged to an LFS employe. it was a orange cap and a green cap growing togeater. wish i had a pic

It's an awesome looking cap that get nodules all over it. Looks like this:

I don't recall this being a debate but maybe you could share what your OPINION of the best looking cap is.

 

[Kip]

Not a debate, but I didn't see the differences until nine9d showed the pictures. There are plenty of (named) corals that look great in that persons tank, but might not look as spectacular in someone else's.
IMO I like the purple cap that Kip posted, but they all look fantastic when they get the size of SunnyX's cap.
