Superman Monti

Pianoman · Mar 1, 2009

Last night at a LFS we picked up a bleached out Superman Monti for 70$. The guy said that in 6 weeks it should color up nicely again or we get our money back. I cant find any great pics on the web of any, so I was wondering if you guys could post some pics of yours. The size of the Superman Monti is around 6 1/2 inches.

Thanks,
Pianoman

i have seen a lot of superman montis at LFS, they are nice. one of my LFS bring some in and the poker star ones as well. he has one of the poker star ones brown out. he wanted like 70 for but ones it browned out ,due to lac of light i picked up for like 20. i have had if for a while but one the polys colored up. the new growth is purple with green and red polyp but still the rest is still somewhat discolored.

any way here is a pic of my true tyree superman monti.

Here's a picture of my frag when I first got it...

It's now huge...about 2" across and encrusting

At this rate this could become a Superman Monti Show Off Thread, unless theres another one.

Wow, $70 for a bleached out frag is not good. I have a piece of superman monti that needs to color up as well, but I got mine tossed in for free. They are definitely a beautiful coral, especially if they are aquacultured. It seems the maricultured frags I have seen look browner than the aquacultured. Hopefully yours colors up quickly. What kind of lighting do you have it under?

I use to have one, but I gave away my last frag prior to my move. Hopefully I'll be able to obtain a frag some time again.

The reason it costs 70 bucks is because last year it was 400 bucks I think he said. Its already starting to recover, you can see some blue and red at the bottom. I would say its a good buy. To bad the camera sucks or I would post some pics, but right now the camera makes it look like a rock. Its a huge frag though, and just last week it was fully colored till someone moved it to high.......
