Montipora and lepto?

[bgilson]

Can I get a more clarification on the montipora please? Also does it look happy? How do I tell if it is happy?


The lepto looks happy to me but im not 100% sure. Also the far right corner isnt getting much light is that ok?

The green spongodes is happy correct? Im almost positive it is. But all these are new to me. Thanks for your help.

If you're seeing PE (polyp extension) they're usually happy. Spongodes appears happy - growth tips visible and polyps visible with good coloration. Monti should be happy - no discoloration or anything visible. Lepto is hard to tell. My Leptos are happy in low light decent flow. They get super hairy (like a Millepora) when they're happy. All three should be fairly quick growers if they're happy. The Lepto may take a while to start, but once it does it'll take off if it's happy.

Awesome thank you.

On a plating monti like that, the polyps although extended don’t have tentacles like a mili or slimer. All you’ll see are round circles representing the polyps. A good sign.
