Montiporas are my favorite corals hands down. So many different variaties and colors.
Here are a few pics of some Montiporas I have right now. I will be adding many more that I have at the shop like a few 5-6" tyree caps and a huge rainbow montipora.
This is my Hulk encruster. I dont know the exact species(any ideas?), but it is the first encruster I have seen that is green both on the base and the polyps!
This is my red cap, nothing special but I grew it out from a 3" frag to this 10" wide x 6" tall size it is now.

This is my favorite Monti cap, my Idaho Grape! I rescued it from a LFS tank, it was dying so they gave it to me! They had no idea what it was!
This is what it looked like when I got it!
And this is after it recovered!
And now with a bunch of nice new outward growth!
And last but not least, my neon orange digitata. This is also one of my favorites!
I have a few more in my tank, but no good pictures of them.
How about you guys, any nice montiporas in your tanks? Lets see them!
very nice

Great pictures you all. Montiporas dominate Acroporas any day of the week!
Wait till I post some pics of the colony of neon green polyp with a yellow base Montipora Digitata. It is HUGE, and I only paid $60 for it!
I have never seen one like it(and I have seen a lot of montis), and searched the internet for pics high and low.
I think I am gonna call it mountain dew digitata. It is the same color lol.

Ok, here it is!
It's yellow with light neon green polyps, and its about the size of a grape fruit, each one of the branches is about an 1 1/2" long with new growth every where. The first pic is really how it looks in real life.
Have you all ever seen one like it?
And with the flash.

i sure hope people start to buy the idaho grape soon, between me and my buddy, i usually throw it in free in frag packs, cuz here in idaho they are cheap, and they are everywhere..... i could buy a whole colony from a buddy for 20 bucks, and this thing is like 10" by 14"..... i think most people dont like it is cuz it grows like a weed and has to be cut all the time, and everytime i cut it, bamm............. brown monti, then like 2 weeks later it is colored up again...... by that time it needs to be fragged again.....LOL
My "Barney Monti" RIP. I had this wild before the 'pokerstar' hit the mkt.
WOW! BEAUTIFUL PIECE.
