My Favorite Monti

[Dav]

Since I just read the Rainbow montipora thread, I wanted to point a place to post pictures of all your favorite Montipora's
I keep many different one's but this one is my favorite
A bright Yellow Montipora Spumosa ( Sunshine Montipora - Named by me since I found it as an encrusting on a rock with orange Digitata at a LFS)
Never seen any in the hobby before mine, so I thought I could name this one:evil:
The week I got it, look at the stressed out orange digi on the right side of the same rock

Next is many months later, but you can see the orange digi survived and was out growing the nicer yellow monti

Here is a pic of where I took a small side of the main colony and started it over in my new 220 gallon.

Close up with flash

Here I thought I saw a purple growth tip??

So later once I quit trying to do anything and just let it grow up, here is the recent picture showing off all the nice purple growth tips

All pictures were taken under 15K XM's or 10K hamilton's I use 400 watters on my main tank.
Ok, Let's see some other hobbyists favorite montipora, You don't have to share a growth log such as I did, I just have been watching it closely for a long time. I keep taking pictures afraid the yellow would fade away one day.
