Leng Sy and Spongodes have some really interesting growth patterns as well. Some branching upwards which become new plates. One of my all time favorites of mine was a run of the mill green / brown polyps spongode colony. It grew to weigh 10lbs in my tank and the growth form was amazing. Looked like a Dr. Seuss cartoon.

I tried to make "Monti Island" myself but the dang zoas took over. Its definitely not a "must have" and is super cheap(free most of the time) but I do like the color and branching of digi's. My Tubbs is finally starting to branch as well.

Awesome! Besides Setosa and Digitata what else grows that branches out? Thanks!

Montipora Hirsuta and Spongodes also branch. The Hirsuta is the one on the back wall.

My personal favorites are the Jedi mind trick, beach bum, and chili pepper. Some day I'll hit a scratch off or something

Yes it is , very odd since it is known to be an encrusting monti . Even the lfs owner I originally bought it from as a tiny frag found it to be crazy . Huge plates too !

My Rainbow looks much better under blues. Really like Sunsets and Reverse Sunset.
