And another Montipora joins the family.

Hello 3REEF Community!
Today, I visited my local fish store and decided to purchase another frag to add to my tank. I decided it was a good time, since it has been some time since I last added a coral to my tank. (Also, I had a coupon, and who can resist using a coupon that is about to expire;D.)

So, I visited the store and looked around at their newly remodeled Reef section. One coral in particular caught my eye (well, actually, 3, but 1 was on the aristocrat price section).

In the end, after a long time of pondering and design wise thinking, I took home a frag of a Montipora coral named Sunset Montipora. It is a gorgeous coloration with hints of color that gradually transitions from red to green to yellow green, all delicately spread over a nice and bright red-orange background. I love it and hope that it can grow and flourish in my tank.

Pictures will come soon.

Found A Hitchhiker

Well, as I was acclimating the Montipora, I found this little fellow.

I think I might place the star in the display tank as it is not the 'infamous' Green Brittle. It is pretty small and came in with the frag that I bought today. I did not notice it till I was acclimating the coral.

The picture is not clear but it is the best that I could do for now. The arms are dark black or brown and have white stripes. It is pretty small (it fits on my pointer finger nail with space to share.

What do you guys think I should do?

Go for it, they sift sand and eat detritus. Oh yeah, and about that monti, NO NO PROOF!
