    so ive been watching it and i is fusing together quite nicely. the white edges that indicate that its growing is gone at the point of contact and it is now one piece.

    Montipora needs moderate lighting. Middle of tank is good

    from what i understand, they ideally grow under 10,000k bulbs but look better under 20,000k bulbs. i am running 20,000k bulbs and i thinks it looks great and is growing at a moderate pace

    I wasintersested in this and thought I would try to get a red and green to fuse. I am going to try this when I tear apart the tank and move. It should be interesting. I would also like to see some pics.

    I have a purple rim cap that grows like crazy under a 20k radium bulb I am chopping it up now to get rid of it's taking up too much relastate..... photos in my. folder of my tank and some of the corals. I fused a tan cap with orange and green I traded it thought to someone in the club it barely fused on the edges seemed like it was going to just over lap each other. I will try and hunt down a photo if I have one with them touching.
