The Montipora spp. (Branched) Blue Polyp Frag is a captivating small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its delicate branching structure and striking blue polyps. This frag is cultured, ensuring sustainable sourcing and healthy growth potential in your marine aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Montipora corals require stable water parameters and consistent care to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, ideally provided by quality LED or T5 reef lighting systems to support photosynthesis and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy tissue growth.
Placement: Position this frag in the mid to upper regions of the aquarium where it can receive sufficient light and water movement. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Montipora spp. are generally reef safe but can engage in chemical warfare or overgrow nearby corals if placed too closely.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; growth rates vary depending on tank conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to maintain stable water parameters suitable for SPS corals.
Regular water testing and maintenance are crucial to ensure optimal calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels for skeletal growth. This cultured frag is an excellent addition for hobbyists looking to expand their SPS coral diversity with a visually striking specimen.
