Aussie Monti similiar to Sunrise Monti for sale or trade
I have several of these frags ready for sale or trade for some rare corals. Similiar coral is selling for $80 for 1/2" at reefready. I'm asking for $75 for 1" (+- a few cm) frag. The base starting to show some green in them. I have 4x39watts T5 over the tank. Let me know if you are interest in it. Pick up in Berkeley. Look at the picture. (I'm keeping the frags in the picture ) The monti is from Australia.

This is a nice monti. Color is somewhere in between the sunrise from ultimatefrags and the reverse sunset from aquaticbliss. The base is slowly coloring up.

Here are how they compare.



The one on the left is the reverse sunset from AquaticBliss, the one on the right is the sunrise from Ultimatefrags.

This is the Aussie monti when it came in.


Here you can see how it's developing the green base

This thing is still continuing to color up.


The green is currently matching the Aquaticbliss piece.

You're gonna enjoy this piece, Norman. Seems to be a decent grower. That fragging edge there is filling in quick. Might pull it out and take a full shot of it.
