truly amazing frag project

[glasscabbage]

if you could ever find the right combo of corals this is one of the most impressive fraging undertakings i have ever seen

at least look at the first page(bottom) and the last.

I took down my 40 gallon zoanthid tank for about a year and a half and made it into a montipora capricornis only tank. I had 5-6 different colors of monti caps, all growing into each other. 3 diferent reds/oranges, purple, green, and green with purple rim.
It was pretty cool, untill I got monti eating nudibranchs.

I'm with finn - Back before the MEN I had a nice lil colony...... working on growing a new one now with some Idaho Grape, Flower Petal, Strawberry Fields, and Purple Rim

Whats interesting is each coral hits that "line of demarcation" where they touch, and then they just start growing in a direction where they aren't butting up against another coral..

That's pretty neat, I'm missing is the Idaho grape. Do you think if I placed a few pieces together they would continue to grow without any problems?

assuming 1 doesn't grow over the other..... so given that statement, if your red cap grows 50% faster than your others, Id leave it out, or give it just a tiny piece to start with......
