I added a Mystique monti cap a few months back. I don't think it liked the Flux Rx treatment or it didn't like the high phosphates (~0.15 +/-) or the nitrates bottoming out. Note about the nitrates, I feed heavily and have no visible algae in the tank except some glass film algae that I scrape once or twice a week, so I believe the nitrates are simply being consumed by the corals, which other than the cap and an octospawn are growing like gangbusters.
Here is the cap right now:
It should have little red polyps all over it, but I haven't seen much in months.
The red monti cap on the other side of the rock is growing and encrusting well. not sure what's up with Mystique. Both are in relatively high PAR area if around 250-300 range. Mystique is getting a bit less flow than the red cap.
ALK: 7.7-8 (AFR dosing 5x/day)
NO3: ~0
PO4: ~0.15
Happy to hear thoughts about this Mystique Monti Cap. Thanks!
