Nice Montipora! Be sure to give it alot of light to keep that gorgeous purple pigment.

Very nice. Hope it grows as well for you as the other motiporas seem too, then you can frag it:D

I am finding high alk makes more of a difference than light.. It had the same color under my 175 as it does now under my hqi's but if my alk drops below 9 all my colors start to get dull.

I grows like a weed, more than a cm per week.

I keep my purple, orange, and green montiporas (digitata) under 400 watt MH 6500K and three VHO Atinics...They have all easily doubled in size in just a few months....it'll be fraggin time soon.

Just my 2 cents worth.
:cheers:

Oh yes...I find high current will produce dense polyps and more velvet looking monti's....
