    monticap with polyps?

    i was messing around with the tank last night in the sump area, so i dont disturb the fish's sleep schedule, and i just happened t oglance up to notice that my brown monti was all decked out with brownish tan polyps. after a second in the light they all closed up into the monti. i had no idea these things did that!

    Corals extend their polyps at night in order to catch food.
