These are probably 2 that are the weirdest I have in my tank to me. This is wwc cherry tree monti. It has started encrusting over multiple pieces of rock and its growing downward but not encrusting but the forward growth encrusts. The monti on the top of the pic is reef tech starburst and its starting to over grow it.

This one is BC bleeding tree. No vertical growth its grown outward and now is starting to sprout some branches but the amount its grown out ridiculous. Thats a 1in frag plug in the pic. I would say 7-8in wide. Its trying to take up all real estate possible.

Nothing too crazy but both are interesting to me. Have a couple encrusting monti's that was just all over the rocks as well but didn't have a pic of those.
