Contrast the SPS growth with my Orange Pavona

You can see the top part (white) where the putty holds the frag is completely encrusted to the rockwork - about a 1/3 inch growth . Hopefully I can see some growth onto the rockwork. On the right side near the top you can also see the encrusting over a small section of the rockwork.

That Pavona is cool! Looks like it is about to go to war with some GSP tho. Poor Pavona :-(

Just picked these up from SUM - they have a new coral shipment. Literally got them as they unpacked them
Red Goniopora
The colours don't do this coral justice. Its a fluorescent metallic red. No polyp extension yet as I just put it into the display after a dip.

Gorgeous pics, wish i could get that kind of polyp extension...

Sometimes with the encrusting monti's they need to adjust to your water chemistry before you get polyp extension. just takes time.

Wow. Very nice pics.

I had no idea crusting Monti's even gave polyp extension. Very nice.

Really like those gonipora as well.. I need a bigger tank lol..

Keep it up

thanks,
