I see two more Monti Eating Nudis on that Monti today...grr. I will have to pull it and deal with that today.
To get the yucky stuff out of the way... Here's my patch of cyano:  Some of the diatoms:  Some algae that I thought was red Bubble algae, but now that it's grown into the shape it is now I'm not so sure:  The background of this photo you can see my patch of red turf algae. The frag is from Fragalot...came totally brown, but is showing some promise now. Mega huge PE on it (gets more than the photo shows):  And the better stuff... Blue Rics from Wicked Frags (fast growers):  Green Sinularia from Bayside Corals:  Neon green Candy Cane that I picked up from a CanReefer in BC. Lost a few heads in the center in shipping, but otherwise looks great:  My (Uber)Supergrape Mille from Coral Master finally starting to show the Mille fuzzies, and already growing:

 I took that purple rimmed green cap out to mount it onto a frag plug last night and....... .........I dropped it into a sink full of HOT (fresh)water!!!   Today it has died off about 50% with no purple rim remaining.  It is brown mostly, but 50% of the polyps remain, so it looks like it will recover, but I am sooooooooooo disappointed.

^^ That is brutal! Sorry to hear.
That red turf algae is a serious PITA.. I had that in the first creation of my 75, and it became so overwhelming I made the decision to shut down and cook the rock... Never did come back the 2nd time thankfully. No idea what the red bubble stuff is though. That's a first sight. Those Blue Rics are awesome!!

Your Super Grape is looking fantastic, mine is also starting to show nice polyp extension and is actually looking quite purple. At night it is actualy quite flourescent lime green now.
I can't wait for it to grow up, Hurry up ole Grapey, Grow, Grow Grow!

Thanks for condolences guys. It looks like only a very small portion of the Monti Cap will survive.
Thanks globaldesigns! I am really liking the Supergrape. It sure takes its time adjusting to the tank though doesn't it? I was wondering about it until I saw a couple others mention the same thing with theirs. Mine does show a bit of green fluoresce under actinics too...mostly the coralites.

Looking good to me Mindy....Ive always found that monties seem to take forever to settle in, but once they do they really take off.....sorry bout the cap....on the upside the fresh water dip likely killed any nudis that may have been on it....hopefully it pulls through for you.

Well, my tank is still having a bit of a disaster... it seems the Zeolites are sucking the nutrients out too fast and shocking my LPS. My brain corals and Acans look horrible with white spots all over them and some small "bite marks" of flesh missing. My Euphyllias, Blastos and SPS have never looked better though. Weird. Well, not weird that the SPS are happy.
Anyway, I've been collecting a bunch of frags lately: ~ 6 different Zoas ~ Crayola Plana Acro ~ Bali Tricolor Acro ~ Some other sweet colored Acros ~ Suharsonoi mini colony This Fragalot Acro arrived brown as dirt, but ALAS! look at it now! It is getting quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite nice!  Coral Master's Yellow Austera:  Another super cool Fragalot piece:  Suharsonoi (I think) from Bayside Corals:
