Apple berry montipora who has them?

I have one also. Just picked it from Jason Fox ( well Barebottom Corals got it from him and I bought it).

I've got one. I will say that in my case, I've found that once you find a place it likes, just don't move it. LOL Mine lost color bc I moved it, but it came back pretty quick so no huge deal. I keep mine up pretty high, but I don't know if that's necessary.

one of my favorite corals

I've got one I've been growing since ~2007. It is not the ATL version, but similar. It is a brighter green with lighter blue polyps. I have the ATL version too, more yellow green with purple polyps. Loves high light and flow. Moderately slow grower until it gets good sized. Definitely one of my all time favorites, unbeatable texture and very bright color.

Is apple berry always a slow grower? Thought all monti were pretty fast growing!

Hey Ritter, where'd you get that? I've not seen a branching version.

Most montipora grow quickly. That’s a montipora palawanensis though. They grow significantly slower. More like a chalice in terms of growth rate

I have one, but don't really like it.
