Sweet pics everyone. I will try to get some pics tomorrow!

Atomikk- Where do you have that placed and under what lighting, that thing looks sweet!

Its about 7" below surface under 250W 10K lights. Its shaped like that because of random flow. It doesn't have a fast current running through it. Otherwise it would look flat like fishes2889.

I got the frag on 8/07 and it was about the size of a nickel. So it is about 10 months old right now and >3" in diameter.

 

[Atomikk]

Would it grow faster under lower light?

 

[FateX8]

does it have to be a capricornis or just a plating monti?
cause i just got a crazy looking plating monti from atlantis
well heres my couple of capricornis, the top is a flower petal or whatever and the bottom is the pink polyp
