The Montipora spp. (Laminar) Pink Edge is a captivating SPS coral prized for its broad, plate-like growth form and vivid pink margins. This large specimen adds vibrant colour and texture to mature reef aquariums.
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 is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position this coral on stable rockwork in the mid to upper sections of the aquarium to receive sufficient light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and overgrowth.
Care Level: Moderate. Suitable for aquarists with some SPS coral experience. Maintain stable water parameters and regular monitoring for best results.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Regular water quality maintenance, including stable calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels, supports healthy growth. Feeding is generally not required but can benefit from occasional supplementation with coral foods or phytoplankton.
