Encrusting montiporas

[Wunderpus]

All,

Hope everyone is well! I've never really bothered to collect encrusting montis for some reason, but I really am interested in finding some cool ones to create a little "stairway"/monti garden in my tank. I have a BC battleberry, but that's all. I am familiar with the JF Beach Bum and the ASD Phoenix (I like both of those, will probably track down one of each). What others do you guys like or recommend that look unique and are good additions?

I don't need them to be super-fast growers, but it's okay if they are... Just looking for some variety here, so all recommendations are appreciated!

Thanks, all!

My favorite that took a little to track down is JF Vino Monti. One of my favorite pieces in my tank.

I have a bunch a couple can’t tell apart. My favorite is super nova, crazy T is also sweet.

I like that one, perfect, added to the list! It has a unique growth pattern, great suggestion! Thank you!

Both are great suggestions, thank you! I really like that Crazy T!

It wasn’t super nova, it was hyper nova I really like. These names get to be too much sometimes lol

Nice thing about what you are doing is the ability to find monti's that have contrasting colors and will complement one another.

I just recently purchased my first encrusting monti frags (JF Fruity pebbles, JF reverse sunset, and JF violet orange) so I'm not sure how fast they grow. They're fairly cheap montiporas but so far I love the color of them.
