I was wondering, what color or morph are the slowest growing plating Montipora?
If you have some - pictures please 🙏🏻

I know Montipora plates are usually considered fast growers and can get really big, but I love the look of Montipora and want to add some to my new tank when it’s set up. To postpone constant fragging as long as possible, please tell me your experience.

I found a neon green one at one of my local stores that’s supposed to be slower than grafted, red and standard green.
 
More of an encruster than plating monticap but it also doesn't grow nearly as fast as the caps and looks nice I think. I can't remember what it's called tho. Maybe someone will know. Orange and green caps do grow quickly but are also very easy to trim back.
