The Montipora spp. (Laminar) Purple-Blue is an exquisite SPS coral prized for its striking laminar growth form and vibrant purple-blue coloration. This extra large specimen offers a bold focal point for mature reef aquariums, adding both texture and colour diversity.
Care Level: Moderate – best suited for aquarists with some SPS coral experience.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position this coral in the mid to upper regions of the tank where it can receive sufficient light and flow. Ensure ample space around it to prevent aggression or overgrowth of neighbouring corals.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or competition.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Additional Notes: Montipora spp. are generally hardy but sensitive to rapid water parameter changes. Maintain stable conditions with regular water testing and quality maintenance.
