Montipora spp. (Phoenix Evolution) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vibrant colours and intricate growth patterns. This tank-bred frag is cultivated under controlled conditions to ensure robust health and acclimatisation to captive reef environments.
Lighting: Requires moderate to high lighting, ideally provided by LED or T5 fixtures designed for SPS corals. Ensure gradual acclimation to intense light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to strong, turbulent water flow to facilitate nutrient exchange and prevent detritus accumulation on the coral surface.
Placement: Position in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where lighting and flow conditions are optimal. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Suitable for aquarists with experience in maintaining stable water parameters and SPS coral care.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable reef conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity 1.025-1.026 SG, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow.
This frag is a perfect addition for hobbyists looking to enhance their SPS coral collection with a visually striking and resilient specimen.
