DBTC Orange Plating Montipora

[Shaunv]

I have a 2"x1" frag of Orange Plating Montipora that I accidentally broke off if anyone wants.

You coming down for the swap in September? If so I'll take a piece.

I don't think I will be able to make it yet again. It happens to be my girlfriends bday weekend and she doesn't want me to spend it playing with corals. . If I do go though, I will have frags of the monti (unless someone else gets it), Nuclear Holocaust, Bowser Paly, Idaho Grape Monti, Hollywood stunner, GSP, Anthelia, and maybe some others if I frag anything before then.

Ok thanks, someone else will surely take it

Bowser paly!? What!

orange monti?? got pics?

 

[Shaunv]

I will try to take a pic. Unfortunately though, the cameras don't do it justice and don't show the colors very well. If you watch my video in the introductions page, you will see the mother colony and that one shows the colors better. I need to get a dslr darn it!

Nice video. What is the growth like, playing out or whirling up?

It is beginning to grow out and up a little bit, mostly because it is up against the glass. The plate was originally a very thick piece and has only recently begun to thin out and grow in rounded plates. There is a small skeleton underneath that is reaching for places to stick too. The growth is fairly fast in my opinion.

Here's some pics to show the growth. The colors don't come out so great from my ipad photos.
