Montis 101...

[MarvinsReef]

alright guys.. I need a crash course on Montis... what I'm really concern about are the pests that comes with them and what I need to do to prevent them from making it into my tank.. there's been some nice wild ones coming out lately and I plan on pickin up a frag or two just to try out...

I've had my Superman monti for a while now and I really didn't pay too much attention to it but it did pretty good for me... it's very bright blue and red that's why I love it...

Thanks in advance.. and I apologize in advance for the newbie questions...

SPS montis biggest threat is the nudibranchs. They are the same size as the polyps and the really bad thing is how fast they can reproduce. You can basically have a 100 adult spawning nudis in 5 days. You can loose an entire tank in 10 days.

Dip it, inspect it, break it off the base rock, dip it, dip it, dip it. I'm paranoid of the nasties that come in on SPS...
