Montastrea (sp) question

[deton8it]

Does anyone have any experience with Montastrea? I know of a LFS that has some that showed up on a piece of Florida aqua-cultured live rock. It's either Montastrea Cavernosa or Montastrea Annularis, I'm not sure. It's no longer on the rock so now its a separate frag. I don't want to buy it until I know more about it (lighting, feeding, etc.).
Thanks
John

Montastrea is closely related to favities/favia, so the same basic rules would apply. Widely adjustable to lighting conditions, as long as the coral is given time to acclimate to brighter lights. Medium to heavy on the feedings.
