I just wanted to show you a different way of mounting your Monti.
This one i mounted Vertically and it has grown very well on both sides.

Very nice man! I love it! I'm currently training a sour apple colony to grow in a vertical column. Corals are amazing!

Training to grow vertical? What do you mean?

NICE pic! 

Yeah... it will plate out horizontal asap... thats where the light is.  But you can certainly mount it any old way you want at first :)

Kinda did this a few times... they will end up as big horizontal spiral plates eventually..

I like the idea presented though, purposely mounting a small frag vertically will get you growth out of it in an interesting pattern to start with.   

The longer I have these and a variety of them in my tank the more I appreciate the surface of a Monti as an amazingly beautiful thing.  The undulations and polyps are like looking at a strange planet that glows.... 
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler -A.E.
57 Gallon RImless build in progress check the thread before if becomes boring and just full of nice pictures of colorful coral!
