Well thanks to Jonathan I now have two new additions to my tank. My purchase was motivated by a let's-see-what-the-fuss-is-about attitude and I already can't take my eyes off of this stuff.
For anyone who is new and doesn't know Jonathan, he is a super good guy, has an incredible setup, and sells SPS frags for less than what everyone else sells softies!

Montipora Digi...sp (I'm suddenly learning corals all over again)

Montipora caps (?):

If you see a problem with how I have mounted these let me know.
Thanks,

I think you might of placed the two monti caps too close together. They grow huge rather quickly. Mine started fom sm. frags, 1yr ago and this is them now

Thanks for the tip Marie,

Do you think they would be ok if I left them for a while and then moved one? (I'm all out of superglue gel at the moment)

Are they the same colour? Just let them grow into each other and form a single colony.

Yup, they are two fragments of the same colony. I wasn't sure if they would grow together or not. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words! :biggrin:

Alan is correct they are both Orange Monti Caps and they will grow together.

Cheers

Wouldn't it be cool if they were differnt colored caps that grew into 1 multi-colored cap? Would that work?

A piece of my yellow cap fell off into a piece of my purple cap, and the two have grown together. So far I haven't had any real cause to pull them apart ... they've just fused together (as far as I can tell).
