So high flow will make it grow faster?It'll grow, to what extent and difference from high flow is probably going to be negligible for a montipora cap. Just my thoughts.
yes i do. Might put it in the low flow spot as i want it to platewhen you say "cap" do you mean like a plating monti?
High flow will encourage plating monti to grow like a cup or bowl shape, low flow will make it grow like a plate. If you mean a branching monti, high flow makes thicker branches, low flow make thinner branches.
“Monti Cap” is montipora capricornis. It’s the plating type you are referring to.when you say "cap" do you mean like a plating monti?

Not that I have noticed. It’s more about time and size. Initially they tend to “plate” out. Then as they grow larger they will grow extra plates vertically which tend to look like scrolls or vases.So low flow causes it to plate while high flow makes it scroll?
So as long as it has a tiny bit of flow it should be fine right? Just don't let detritus settle on itNot that I have noticed. It’s more about time and size. Initially they tend to “plate” out. Then as they grow larger they will grow extra plates vertically which tend to look like scrolls or vases.
Yes. When you say “high light” how much are you talking. If there’s not much flow you don’t want too much light. They do need some flow so they can exchange things with the water to survive. Too much light and not enough flow would be bad.So as long as it has a tiny bit of flow it should be fine right? Just don't let detritus settle on it
I have a radion xr30 pro on 80% and it's halfway in the middle of the tank. Ignore the glue i want it to encrust itYes. When you say “high light” how much are you talking.
