Montipora danae (JF Altered Ego) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its intricate texture and vivid colours, making it a prized addition to mature reef aquariums. This frag is cultivated under expert conditions, ensuring robust health and acclimatisation to captive environments.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is essential to maintain vibrant pigmentation and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a PAR range of 200-400 µmol/m²/s are recommended.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow helps prevent detritus accumulation and promotes optimal gas exchange. Position the frag where it receives indirect but vigorous water movement.
Placement: Place the frag in the upper to middle regions of the tank to ensure adequate light exposure and water circulation. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: This coral is suited for intermediate to advanced hobbyists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters typical of SPS corals.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025 specific gravity, 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 overgrow or sting.
Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality will ensure this Montipora danae frag thrives and adds spectacular colour and texture to your reef display.
