Hey, looking great! Only just seen this thread, but it looks like you're getting some good growth and everything's coloring up really well. 8)

Love those Monti caps! Did they come together like that w/ the two different colors merged?

Cheers

Got them at world wide corals as frags that way on a plug. If you look at the pics from that side of the tank (right side) you will see a third color.
The orange and purple seem to be growing faster though than the 3rd color. And you are right the monti caps have a unique growth pattern that would make any tank look great.
