This Montipora is a plating variety and has a vibrant green color. This frag is roughly 1”+ in diameter and colony up to 3".
Montipora are one of the most diverse SPS corals. They come in a wide variety of shapes and colors and have been a staple in SPS dominated aquariums as well as mixed reef tanks. As for care, they can be sensitive to changes in tank parameters as well as demanding of both high flow and high light for peak health and coloration.
Montipora love light. Intense lighting is recommended for best coloration and overall health. Use either Metal Halide lighting, a large bank of high output fluorescent or LED's. If not provided proper lighting, the colors of Montipora may fade. Like other SPS such as Acropora, Montipora can change colors dramatically depending on the type of light provided. Expect some changes in color when moving Montipora from system to system.
Moderate to High water movement is recommended. Like most SPS, reef hobbyists have been keeping Montipora in high flow aquariums for ages with a high degree of success. High water flow helps sweep away detritus from the coral as well as bring vital nutrients to their polyps.
Montipora relies heavily on the products of their zooxanthellae but to a lesser degree may feed on phytoplankton and similarly sized microfauna in the water column. We do not go out of our way to feed Montipora, but they may benefit from a light dusting of rotifers or phytoplankton.

Packaging:
The proper acclimation of a new arrival is extremely important considering the amount of stress the coral has endured before arriving at your door. We recommend that the following procedure be followed immediately upon receipt of the livestock. The entire process is actually very simple and should take less than half an hour to complete.
Coral may appear incredibly stressed when they arrive at your door. Shipping coral is one of the most stressful things we do, and that says a lot considering that many of them were propagated with a band saw! They literally just had the worst day of their lives in the shipping process so it may take a couple days before they regain any semblance of their prior appearance. Stress however is not the same as a DOA. If you receive a coral that you think died during shipping, please let us know. You can find more information on our DOA policy.
