I haven't shot many pictures lately, but here is a follow up on my Monti. It will give you an idea of where my growth is at. I'll take some more tank shots as soon as I can.

Today 10/22/07 It's really grown HUGE... takes up the entire corner of my tank. I've also got some frags from it in my tank.

Thanks!

I picked up the original frag August of 2006. The other pictures were around 4 and 6 months later.

I'll be posting more pics of the rest of my tank soon...

Awesome growth on the cap !
Have you noticed any bleaching of the areas that aren't getting any light towards the back ?

Welcome back! I sure have missed you around here. Can't wait to see a fts again.

OMG, he's alive!
We have been worried sick!
Just hasn't been the same around here without you.
Glad you are back.
Great monti growth. More, more, more!

Thanks!

I sure have, but I guess it's inevitable when they grow large. I've seen the same thing happen to Montis in the wild.

Guess it's "fragmentation" time! :whstlr:
