The Montipora spp. (Laminar) Pink Edge is a visually stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its delicate laminar growth form and vibrant pink margins. This extra large specimen offers an impressive display piece for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems designed for SPS corals are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps prevent sediment accumulation and promotes optimal gas exchange without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position this coral in the mid to upper regions of the tank where it can receive sufficient light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists familiar with SPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular maintenance are essential.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Montipora spp. can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours and require careful placement.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Additional Notes: Origin and maximum size are not precisely provided due to species variation within the Montipora genus. Conservative husbandry practices are advised to ensure long-term health.
