Montipora Capricornis (yellow)

I received this piece as a leftover frag. I mounted it in a vertical position, and it began to form a whorl. Unfortunately, some nearby star polyps began encrouching, and killed off a portion of the frag.

September 29, 2003 Initial planting of the coral fragment with epoxy putty.	June 10, 2004 Notice how the star polyps have killed off the left portion of the frag.
February 27, 2005 The coral has now flattened out and is starting to take on the characteristic funnel shape.
