Orange Montipora capricornis

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.

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 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.
