Jim, wanna report back to you about the rainbow monti frag you shared with me. Seems like the more 'matured' polyps are always green and only the circumference new growth area is orange. Body is deep purple.

Is yours the same?

[Jimng]

Yes sir....same......btw, think different condition brings out the potential differently....check out this thread on the mother colony...

OK, thanks for the tips. Will move part of the specimen to a lower light area and see how it compares. You got an updated pic of your 'mother' colony?

Mine had mainly those brown/orange polyps, body is same color. I have to look closely if there's any green polyps.

My current piece polyp not extending that much after the tank change, still waiting for it to get back to it's former glory, still can see the orangey polyps @ the edges and greener ones in the middle though...

Bro, if your system makes it goes red polyp and blue base.....than it really tells us something....

Up Up and Away....

from the photos seems like the lower lighted area gives green polyps while the stronger lights area gives orange polyps?

From observations, it seems new growth gives orangey polyps and older polyps remains green, i suppose, light and flow plays a part or two here....

i've got another specimen where the base is blue and the polyps are green, the area where the base and polyp meets looks red......

[AlfaRomeo]

By any chance, do you have a specimen of the 'Superman Monti'? That looks gorgeous!

[Jimng]

Haha.....many pple looking for that too......im one of them....
