How many hours do you keep your light on for?

Sailifert IMO are the best test kits to use.

Also read in your post it has not attached itself yet. You need to super glue the bottom of it to a piece of live rock. That will help it encrust to the rock. It takes quite a while for that to happen.

VHO actinics on at 10am off at about 9:30pm. Metal Halides (2x 400 watt) and (2 x 250 watt) on at 11am, to about 8:30pm

+1 with you on this one

I think your parameters are unstable. Once you get alk ,cal, and mag in check and stable it should take off. By the looks of your pic you have very little coraline algea growing wich makes me think that the water is out of wack.

Could just be an acclimation issue. I personally have 0 grow for some corals for the first couple or weeks to months, but that's my personal experience.

What tests did the local fish store do? Usually they just do ph, nitrrate, and maybe alk. You need to check your Mag and Calcium. Montis can grow in all sort of light. Some like high and some like low. If it like high it wont fade in high light and if does fade move to a lower part of your tank. I bet your problem is with Calc and Mag. I would check into those.
