Montipora digitata

***Reefland*** · 01-08-2006, 02:45 PM

As a lot of you know, we have a Montipora specific tank, for the most part. Thought I would share one of our very few good pictures of our "German Blue". It's been a hard one for us to get a shot of.

**charlie** · 01-08-2006, 03:05 PM

Nice shot!!!!!
That seems to be a little thicker than the frags I sent. More flow?????

***Reefland*** · 01-08-2006, 03:14 PM

Lots of flow, 4000gph in our little nano-reef.

I think that definitely has been a part of it. It will be interesting to see how yours develop!

I am betting my tangs would have a tougher time accidentally fragging your monti's. I have a 1" deep pile of frags below the orange digi.

***Reefland*** · 01-08-2006, 03:35 PM

Ours has fragged that particular coral several times!

We've got 7-8 of them already attached in other places.

**charlie** · 01-08-2006, 03:41 PM

Do you have a full tank shot of your monti tank?

***Reefland*** · 01-08-2006, 04:02 PM

I haven't been able to get a good one. Each time I take some pictures I try one or two but nothing ever turns out good.

Very nice ! I have one very similar, are you using 10k's ?

***Reefland*** · 01-09-2006, 02:20 PM

Yes, that picture is under 10k XM's. It stayed pretty brown under 20k's but the polyps have "silvered" up under the 10's.

Scott,

NICE CORAL! I like the "fuzzier" SPS myself...

I think we need to see the full tank, even if you don't love the pic!

It is pretty hard to get the "true color" with a camera I've never actually gotten a perfect pic of it

**Poseidon** · 01-11-2006, 02:59 PM

I agree! Post a full tank shot! Try and move you EV down to -1, it should help.

vtec si · 01-12-2006, 11:17 PM

Someone say full tank picture!

**charlie** · 01-14-2006, 10:32 AM

OK, we need to bump this up to see if we can shame Scott into posting a full tank shot.

**Poseidon** · 01-14-2006, 11:03 AM

Ya Scott! Full tank!

You can send it to me in email first if you want....

**charlie** · 01-14-2006, 11:05 AM

There is no way he should be able to resist that!!!

GaryZ · 01-14-2006, 12:35 PM

C'mon man, full shot.....C'MON!!!!!!!

BubbaWPB · 01-14-2006, 12:37 PM

FULL SHOT! FULL SHOT! FULL SHOT! <chanting>

***Reefland*** · 01-14-2006, 12:51 PM

Alright, you'll have to give me some time. I need to go in with the razor blade to clean the glass and then I'll see what I can come up with.

Boy, the glass must have really been bad.
