New montipora frag

[MikeyZo]

So I decided to grab myself an inexpensive monti cap to try sps in my tank. I told the guy in the LFS I was looking for a monti cap. He was pretty sure this was, just wondering what you think. Is this the mystic sunset color i keep seeing? Thanks!

Can you tell if it’s a cap or encrusting?

But I'm not a monti cap expert although I have a lot of monti in the tank not the plating style.

What do you usually feed them?

Light!

Light!

lol besides light! :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Do they need to be supplemented? I usually put some phyto in the tank for the pods each day

Nutrients from fish waste are enough and your phyto but it’s not necessary
