Contrast the SPS growth with my Orange Pavona
Top picture Feb 2013, Bottom picture April 2013
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.

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.

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