JoelRHale Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't even know what some of those monti's are let alone look like. Can't wait for pics. They are all pretty hot, here's the basic run down: Superman: blue encrusting with red polyps Pokerstar: blue encrusting with green polyps Grinch: green encrusting with red polyps Sunset: orange encrusting with green polyps Rainbow: you have one Setosa: green plating and branching with dark polyps Tyree Verrucosa: yellow branching with violet polyps He also said he would throw in a freebie. So there's that too. Here's the setosa mother colony: Link to comment

JoelRHale Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Simply amazing. I guess you can never predict how they are going to grow? That mother colony is incredible. I'm not entirely sure, but I think that's just how they grow, they put a plate out, and then send a branch up in the middle of the plate. I just hope they arrive in good condition, the water in the bags are still warm, and they do well in my tank. The poor showing with my Mr. Coral frags are why I'm not getting a free clam. I'm not against ordering from him again, but I certainly won't be ordering SPS again. I do want to do a chalice/acan/zoa order but these montis are more important to me. Link to comment
Joe Dirt Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 That mother colony is pretty amazeballs. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 That mother colony is pretty amazeballs. I'm hoping he gets confused and sends me it instead of the 1" frag. Link to comment

Joe Dirt Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 You never know. When I got my tricolor, the guy at the LFS said if popped an extra $20 he'd make the frag 2" instead. He gave me a frickin' branch. The piece was sizable, needless to say. Link to comment

The piece was sizable, needless to say. I've seen the wysiwyg pictures of my frags none of them are thy big but I don't know what my freebie will be. Judging by his stock and his 30 years of experience I doubt he has anything bad. Link to comment

ScubaEthan Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 There is no such thing as a free clam. This is also sig quote worthy. You are on a roll today. I never understood what was so cool about a monti until I got one. Actually, I still don't know what's so cool about them. But I want more. Link to comment

Montiporas are the perfect mix of color, decently fast growth, and not impossible care. Link to comment

Felicia Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Will do, just let me know what you want. Yay! I have no idea what I want yet, I'll have to figure out something cool and take a video. Any suggestions? Have you made any decisions on what to place atop the sacrificial alter (horn)? FTFY Link to comment
gena Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks! I want a birdsnest on the alter. Oh....nice! What color? I'm getting a neon green bird. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yay! I have no idea what I want yet, I'll have to figure out something cool and take a video. Any suggestions? I could do a coral movement shot like my last one. I don't want to impose too much on your creative process. Just think on it and see if you don't come up with exactly what you want. Oh....nice! What color? I'm getting a neon green bird. Not sure of the exact name but it's an orange skeleton with green polyps. but I could just as easily change my mind. I would also like a branching monti like a forest fire. Link to comment
