I have one frag of purple montipora digitata available. I received it during the DBTC meeting as an orange digi and to my surprise it turned into a nice purple digi under my lights! I already have a purple digi colony so I split the frag in two and let them grow and encrust. TheSaint picked one up the other day and this second one is now ready for it's new home. It is an "easy/moderate" sps to grow, requires stable tank parameters (calcium, alkalinity, magnesium) but is a little more forgiving than other sps. Some will disagree with me, but I have found that maintaining potassium levels in the tank to help with montipora coloration. It does best under moderate to strong lighting and moderate to strong flow. If you have the right set up for this coral and would like this frag, let me know.

I'm already seeing growth on the one Brian gave me. It's doing great.
Nice! I think that when conditions are right, it can grow 1mm per day.
