    My Montis (I have 6 currently), don't eat anything, other than whats in the water column. The growth depnds on alot of things like lights, Ion concentration, etc.

    I have a small Superman Monti, I'd like to see a pic of yours.

    The bigger they get, the faster-more area they grow- if that makes sense I hope.

    All I got to say is.....You shouldn't use the words SPS and "Dive" in the same sentence or title. I got all excited. Not that I'm not stoked about your coral but.......
