The Montipora spp. (Laminar) Pink Edge is a captivating small to medium-sized SPS coral prized for its delicate laminar plating and striking pink margins. This coral adds both vibrant colour and intricate texture to mature reef tanks, making it a popular choice among experienced marine aquarists.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Montipora spp. corals require stable water parameters and consistent care to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, ideally provided by LED or T5 systems capable of delivering sufficient PAR levels to support photosynthesis.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong water movement is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy coral growth.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to upper regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and overgrowth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Montipora spp. can coexist peacefully with most reef inhabitants but may engage in chemical warfare if placed too close to other corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but may benefit from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Origin & Size: Origin not provided. This listing is for a medium-sized specimen.
Regular monitoring of water parameters including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is advised to maintain optimal growth conditions. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
