I was just wondering, how difficult are these corals to maintain. I really like them. Do they grow very fast? And will they just spread over the rockwork?

DaBird · 04-22-2007, 12:30 AM

I hope so! From the research I've done, not hard, grow fast, make owner happy...

wow I think I need some of those monti's. I have several encrusting monti's but they suck compared to those.

SueT · 04-22-2007, 09:17 AM

IME, most of these encrusting montipora are very slow growers. Watching paint grow would be more exciting. They are also fairly hard to keep. I have had most of the more popular ones and have lost most of them the first time around. I now have the 2nd phase and they are doing much better. The water quality has to be spot on and not one level off even for a very short time. As beautiful as they are the are a handful trying to keep and grow. They are fussy about the lighting it seems most.
