Has anyone seen a grafted Slow Burn Monti? I tried googling some pics, but no luck so far. My colony has light, almost green strands going through it and the pattern is there on frags also. I am curious if this is normal and happens to all of them, or if it's a fluke.

Normally gfp infection (grafting) is more distinct in a coral. Also, are these pictures under blues? My slow burn only looks like this under blue lights, and is a tan/lavender/orange under daylight. Any tips on coloring it up?

Yep this was under blue lights. For me, monties like nutrients. So I keep my P at 0.04 and N at 10-20 and they color up nicely.

I have one that's doing something similar.

Cool glad I am not the only one. I was googling for pictures and couldn't find anything. Very nice colony there!!!

Thanks! I'm on the opposite spectrum for nutrients, higher PO4 and lower NO3 (which I'm trying to raise). This pic was taken during the lights ramping down, so it's on the blue side, but my peak hours have more whites. I have a mystic sunset that was doing something similar with a green steak, but I may have fragged that part off accidentally.
 
Reviving an old thread, my slowburn is starting to graft red.
