    And FINALLY a Monti Capricornis. I got a small piece of a green cap as well but it's too small to take a good pic.

    I think it was Gambit who got a scoly the other day and when I saw the pictures of his, I said to myself that I must have one. I called my supplier and as luck would have it, he had but only theses small guys he had big ones but sold them out. I should have called before.
    What's the growth rate on scolymia?
    And, How do I frag,

    So I'm very new to SPS. My millipora has been doing great and growing rapidly since day one so that's why I decided to get a small frag acropora and the monti cap. Today, I'm experiencing either bleaching or RTN on my acro and monti. Everything else is doing fine including the millipora.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I must admit, I may not have acclimated the coral properly, I placed them mid range rather than bottom level.
    dKH-10
    pH-8.2
    Ca-440
    Nitrate-0-5
    PO4-0
    S.G.-1.025

    All your levels look good for SPS. A temp acclimation is all that is needed for most SPS. Very few will I actually do a drip on.

    Not sure why you are bleaching..... is the tissue still there? or has it sloughed off?
