    So you guys understand @huntindoc frustration, the Mind Trick Monti is a really pretty piece. It has a violet purple growth edge with a green body and red polyps. It is primarily a thick encrusting Monti but it has been known to plate. ORA originally named it Jedi Mind Trick but after some discussions regarding intellectual property the first word was dropped. I can't help you with the blue and yellow Monti. I have a blue and yellow one that I have not been able to identify in over a year. @Botheboss although a little light on the green, there is a close up of a Spongodes frag.

    Red Monti Cap on the top. Spongodes on the right. Mind Trick growing between the two. You can see the violet growth edge where it contacts the red Monti Cap.

    Blue sunset monti, looks purple here but nice green polyps.
    next to it is a superman monti dig. I really need to figure out how to take better pictures.

    Tried to get an actinic shot but they are always too blurry. Still it gives a little bit of the pop

    My red monti I picked up at the meeting. Found this korila nano base in a junk box. Works great for this and it allows me to move it closer to the light as time goes on. Looks like I need to clean the back glass a little better too.
