Ive litterally checker grafted about every cap i ever owned and sometimes when i used bigger chunks they wouldnt fuse, only a few times they did , i like it better when 3 different caps grow in and around eachother looks so frikkin awesome

They should end up like this. Some of my pictures - they've been posted on R2R before so sorry about the repeat.

From a couple years ago

The latest incarnation.

So what's the key to getting a grafted monti cap vs. them just growing together? Manipulation, chance, etc?

I have over 10 different species of monti in my tank. I have learned that monti cap will be fine with other caps. Montipora spongode will fight but stay at a standstill with forest fire digitata and montipora verrcucosa. Montipora verrucosa will however bleach the skin of monti cap in areas of contact. Just some information that I have witnessed.
