OK but how do you know its Danae? Aside from pics and what the seller tells us.You would need a dead piece and a biology book to be even close to guessing:razz: lol just giving you a hard time anywhere close to danae is good enough for me.I like them too

Hey Greg, that's a nice big piece of dane you got there :)

I didn't get a chance to snap a pic last night, ok, I did.. but I was lazy. I'll take some pics of it tonight. Really nice looking piece... deep blue body with neon green polyps.

Stay tuned..

Very nice :biggrin:

Perhaps I should edit my title.. I just want to see any encrusting Monti. I think they are awesome.

Well in that case I will have to take some pictures and post more later, I have 6 different types of encrusting monti's in my tank.

Brennan very sweet monti you have there.

Post the pics when you get a chance Greg. Here are the photos as promised.. my photography sucks.. I give up on taking nice pictures.. until I get a new digi cam.

Pics do this piece no justice.. it's very vibrant.

I've got it placed up on the higest point in my tank under 250w HQI, and so far so good.. I am hoping that once I add that Phosban reactor , my growth and colours will improve. But, I do find my SPS to do quite well in my 20g considering...

Let's try to keep this thread going...

That is a sweet little piece Scott. Maybe after it grows out for a while we can do a frag swap.

Marc, very very nice.

What a difference a couple of days under better lighting can make. My purple danae seems to have contracted measles.

I had forgotten this piece. May as well show them all.

Some real nice pieces there Greg.. that's good that your seeing nice changes with the light switch. That superman is going to be killer.. is that quite a big piece?

My frag however, has lightened up a lot. It has lost the dark purple body and is a baby blue colour now. I will admit though, I don't mind the baby blue body, it's a really nice piece.. I'd like to expand the collection.

Scott,
The superman is close to fist size at the moment. When I got it about a month or so ago it was completely brown and it is colouring up quite quickly. I am hoping in the next few month's it will start to look like the real deal.
