Hello fellow reefers have a question just got my first Monti Cap green not neon green but the regular green one and a blue hawkins enchinata and was wondering if my tank is really ready for those types of sps corals i have other corals but these are the only SPS i have listed my parameters below the tank is a little over a year old and also wondering what kind of growth can expect from these two pieces any advice will be greatly appreciated

Monti caps in my experience grow fast and can sometimes create too much shade around the tank, particularly when it grows over other corals or over spaces you will eventually want to put corals on. I just keep them over sand or in out of the way areas. I've seen them grow in spirals too though instead of just a big flat plate but mine always plates. I like to keep it over sand to create some shade for certain types of low light corals like some of my chalices. Dunno much about the hawkins, just that its a beautiful piece
