LF Rare Monti Cap

[Jaws]

I've been looking for a rare monti cap to put kinda front and center as a showpiece in my tank. Even if you don't have a frag I was wondering if you had a picture so I might be able to source one out. Thanks.

Just missed out. J&L was selling a frag of a blue monti cap. Beautiful colour but $$$. It's still on their website if you want a pic.

It was that frag that started me wanting a piece like that as a showpiece. I'd really love a base like blue or purple but with different color polyps or a different color rim to give it some contrast if that even exists.

I bought one out of two pieces of that "cap". It's actually not a cap, but a Montipora Foliosa (as I just recently learned).

[Jaws]

What is the difference between the two?

Montipora capricornis

Montipora foliosa

Looks like different growth patterns and directions of ridges along the plates.

Huh. The foliosa seems to be more defined. I think I like that one better.

Yeah I saw that a few days ago. I think it was sold the same day it was posted. Worth the money. Hopefully, more will be coming in.

We'll have to get a trade going, since I believe it was you that posted those nice pics from Safari

For sure. Things in my tank are taking forever to grow though so we might be waiting a while.
