Just wondered if any one can shed any light on this problem i have with encrusting montiporas.
I can grow branching montis, I can grow plating montis, but i cant ,for the life of me , grow encrusting montis. My water is fine , ive tried them in high flow , low flow and no flow areas. I had them in high and low light, tried on the bottom of the tank, half way up the tank and on the top of the rocks.
What else can I do. , the polyps do not come out, well they are out when the lights switch on, but then retract and so over a few months they get weaker and weaker and then die while other montis next to them flourish. I don't want to kill any more until i solve the puzzle
