No offense or anything, but that monti isn't doing that good. It looks pale and some of the tissue has already started to die off.

How about on a 20g w/ 130w PC's at about 5" deep? Just got a frag and the very tip has started to droop downwards. Is this a bad sign?

I wasn't saying that your lighting isn't enough, because I think it is. I just thought it was odd that you said your SPS are doing great then you posted a pic of an almost half dead monti. I just didn't want people to get the wrong idea of what a healthy SPS coral would look like. Great that it's recovered.

FWIW, I'm not one who claims anemones can only be kept under halides.

Sooo....didn't mean to hijack this thread, but thought I'd ask on topic opposed to starting a new thread asking the same exact question. Anyways, my monti cap frag has been doing really well under PC's so far. I've had him about 2-3 weeks. Got him for $7!!! Check out the pics....
