i am looking to choose three scrolling type corals for my tank (monti caps or corals similar). i know i see alot of the basic pinkish/redish one and purple caps. i am hoping to find something with a couple of colors on them, im not sure what exsists out there. just something a lil different than the usual ones........

so show me your caps or similars !!!!!!

wow, very nice everyone!

beaker--- i am loving that first one. does it have a "name"?

poisedon--- dang those suckers look HUGE ! veddy nice...

reefpets-- love that green and purple.... also does that one have a "name" ?
 
Hey Amanda - It is a Tyree Purple Polyp Montipora Capricornis. I do not think the name went any further than that. Its a nice piece and grows like a weed for me.
About 5 months ago it was a 1/2" X 1/2" frag and I have fragged it ten times or more.

Amanda, it's called the Atlantis Strawberry Patch Cap. Has very bright red polyps in a field of green.
 
man oh man beaker... i think that one goes on my "I NEED IT" list !! :) thanks for the info!
 
Mine don't have the spectacular colors of some of these others, but I love their shape.

scopus- very nice. i like the mixing of the colors... i think i will put mine in close proximity so they will mix it up. cute lil goby perched in there :)

Thanks Amanda. Saw the mixing done on another forum, and tried to duplicate; my colors weren't quite as contrasting, so its a little harder to notice. Love the gobies, they're a new addition.
 
these pics are from TOTM january 09 at RC....

This is a cool idea, just common green and orange caps and presto
