Lets See Your Encrusting Monti

[Invert]

I am looking to get a few Encrusting Monti.
But, can not make up my mind on which ones to get.

So, If my fellow Hobbyist could Show Off yours.
The Pictures of your Favorites,
Would help me make up my mind.

Here is the only one I have,

Meteor Shower Cyphastrea

Not sure if you know this or not, but encrusting Montipora is very different from encrusting Cyphastrea.

Nonetheless those are beautiful :)

Hey Bob,
That is a nice picture of your Sunset.
It has more Orange than any other Sunset I have seen.

Xler8n,
Are those Red or Orange Polyps on the Unknown ?

ddr_phish,
I am a Zoa / Paly Collector, trying to learn about SPS.
I guess I will have to start another thread.
Show me your encrusting Cyphastrea.

What is the name of the Coral in the first picture ?
If I am correct,
The second is Superman.
The third is Rainbow.

That's my nicest one, but unfortunately it browned out awhile ago. All the new growth is the right color though.

Also had a sweet frag of superman monti that covered a frag plug then it got stung to death during my tank move. :( Thought I had pics of it but I can't find any.

Happy to see you getting into sps Invert. I may have to hook you up with some acros and montis sometime.

Thanks to everyone that posted pictures of your Encrusting Monti.
Now I will have to find my own.

My supernatural disappeared on me. Either something ate it off the frag plug, or it popped loose and was buried. The glowing polyps are a sweet look, I'll look for it again.

imo high light keeps the base color of most montis glowing. particularly the ones with a blue/purple base.

the ORA supernatural monti looks a lot like M. Hispada IMO. It does glow under the actinics. I think they are plating monties though, not encrusting.
