A little Spongodes Help

JustPoprocks · Jul 5, 2020

I’ve had this Spongodes(?) for a while don’t know much about it. I keep soft and lps. Is it looking good or dying I don’t pay much attention to it so I haven’t really watched it grow. Any tips?

It’s glued about 3/4th of the way up the back wall under an AI Prime/T5 hybrid

The polyp extension comes and goes. It’s pretty random on this frag. As far as color goes, I’m running a 6-bulb t5 fixture over my 55g, which probably has a lot to do with coloration, along with the elevated nutrients I keep in this system.

All my LPS seems to be the happiest around 40ppm nitrates. Also don’t know if that high is bad for this.

That is a pretty Monti. It was a weed in my tank. Fast grower and it was everywhere. I would isolate it on one rock. Under high par it will be yellow with purple tips. If its green its in low light or really high nutrients. Very durable.....
