Orange Montipora capricornis
Picture was taken in March 2002 with a Nikon CoolPix 950 Digital Camera, No Flash

Obtained July 23rd, 2001 from Rich Knecht (aka RichK)

This is going to grow into a beautiful colony. It has a nice bright orange color to it. I have it right on the sand only because I don't have a better location for it.

Pretty impressive growth for just 4 months. Still down on the sandbed, seems to be in a great spot. But as you can see it has limited growing space at that location. I'll have to shuffle it around a bit.

This picture shows the growth after just four more months. This coral really is doing fantastic. As you can see in the picture I'm running out of room for this coral. I'll have to keep moving a few things around.
