Monti Cap Spiral

[mpatient]

I have three Monti cap frags coming (red, green, blue). Would love to spiral them, but not sure how. Any suggestions?

You can’t force it to spiral it’s a “natrual” growth pattern

They will do what they want to do. There's no control that I'm aware of.

Mine goes all over.

Experimenting with flow and light.

Montipora capricornis is what you want.

Whenever I break a piece of monti while doing maintenance, I put the piece in the center of the colony. The pieces will fuse and start an interesting growth pattern.

Sorry of I did not clarify. I am wanting to the three colors to intertwine grow into each other

Oh, that's a different story then. All you can do is glue them together and hope that they are compatible. I haven't had any luck grafting my montis. One color always dominates the other and grows over it.

Wow I just broke a piece two days ago and decided to try this. I look forward to see how it will grow now!
