Montipora foliosa (Grafted) Frag is a captivating small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its distinctive foliose, plate-like structure and vibrant colours. This cultured frag has been carefully grafted to promote healthy growth and ease of acclimation in reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support photosynthesis and maintain vibrant pigmentation. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to ensure nutrient delivery while preventing tissue damage. Avoid direct strong currents which can stress the coral.
Placement: Position this frag in the mid to upper regions of the tank where it can receive ample light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Montipora foliosa requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but may engage in chemical warfare or overgrow nearby corals if placed too closely.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to support skeletal growth. Regular monitoring of water quality and supplementation is advised.
