JerseyChick Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Ok my tank is now over 2 years old and I have metal halides. I decided my first piece of sps would be an orange (what the store called scroll coral) However after reading several posts I am pretty confident it isn't a scroll but is infact a orange monti (which is in a "scroll" shape) The only main questions I have are if it is montipora why does it not have the little green polyps I have seen on most orange monti's I have seen, and does anyone have advice on the ideal supplements I need to provide a healthy environment for it? picture to come I killed the battery on my camera by allowing my daughter to touch camera :/ Link to comment

I kept a fat monti under pc for the passed 6 months, its not growing, but its not dying either, and yes it has lost its white tips. I recently bought a MH light for an upgraded tank, and a transfered it in. Anyways. Monti dosent need dosing. Link to comment
Nemo Niblets Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Could have orange polyps, or maybe they just aren't extended. You won't need to dose for it, most likely, until it gets pretty large and the growth takes off. Link to comment
InLimbo87 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 You are right, that's a Montipora Capricornus (most commonly referred to as a "cap" coral) Link to comment
