TexasTiger Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have some large pieces of Monti Cap I'd like to trade. The stuff has grown like crazy in this tank and I need to clear out room for other corals. Each piece is probably about 6-7" wide. I also have various small frags of this stuff that broke off when I relocated the tank recently. Not sure what exactly it is, it came from my brother-in-law and has also really thrived. Here's a picture of the main coral. Lastly, I have a colony of 30+ greenish-brown button (?) polyps for trade. I noticed when I took the picture there were two small majanos, but they have since been wiped out with Aiptasia-X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Whoops, first picture is upside down. Also my camera is terrible, but hopefully you get the idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lamont Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Is that second coral an encrusting coral or is it branching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Encrusting. I have a piece on a ceramic reef plug. It took it over after the frag on it died. Edited April 7, 2010 by SAtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lamont Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Was there something in particular that you were looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Not really, I'm pretty open at this point. I recently took over the tank from my brother-in-law and it did not have a lot of diversity, just a few corals that had really thrived. Here's what I have in addition to the stuff above: purple mushrooms, candy cane, galaxia, lettuce, GSP, and what I think is a lobed brain coral.

TexasTiger Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'm running 2x150w 10K MH and 2x130w antinics. After looking at some pictures, I think you may be right Don. I think it's Pavona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lamont Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hey Paul that Pavona looks awesome sticking out of my rock work! Did you have it in the top or bottom half of your tank? Hows that Birdsnest treating ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Hey Lamont, Glad to hear it looks good! My birdsnest is happy so far, it was a much bigger frag than I realized :-) My main pavona coral is in the top half of my tank, but it has grown down the rock quite happily. I also have pieces that have broken off living on the bottom and seem to be doing ok. I would say I kept that frag of yours about halfway down in my tank.
