Show us your montis

[scotty333]

Hi guys,
I’ve just bought a nine different montis as I love them, never been a twig fan but have a digi and a forest fire frag
Only got them yesterday so they’re probably not at their best yet
I’d really like to see a superman if anyone has one as mine looks nothing like the picture where I bought the coral

Here’s a few. The tan colored one is sending shapes all over the place. The orange of course is a monticap. And the last a Blue German Digitata.

Just a run of the mill Setosa and bubble-gum Digi:

Yeah, no way I put any fast growing montis in my tank I'm setting up now. My last tank they just got out of control, even fragging them by the pound.

Are there any slow growing montis? Maybe ones I could put low in the tank on a separate rock to control the spread?

I actually picked up a few higher end/slow growers like the Beach Bum, Vino JF Vino, Pink Halo, etc and am trying to get them to cover the bottom glass.

Classic rainbow monti, haven’t had one in years and glad to welcome one back in my system

Do you have any full tank shots? I remember from a chalice forum you have some giants, and looking at this monti it’s huge as well. Would love to see your tank

Unfortunately I would say the tank is in disarray. I been re decorating, after I turned my tank into fresh water (accident when I was on vacation) I threw out 60% of the dead/mostly dead corals and also rock (they got taken over by Aiptasia, orange Yuma and green mushrooms). From my experience orange Yuma is indestructible and they kill anything in their path.
In retrospect I should have rebooted. Now I have areas that nothing wants to grow on except algae and the corals are not as vibrant. It is getting better but….

New rock pieces still have green on them GHA/ bubble algae. Over the last couple of months I started adding new corals but more time is needed.

Anyway here is work in progress:

Here are couple of pictures from before the accident:
