The Montipora spp. (WWC Sunfire Grafted) frag is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid orange and red hues, achieved through expert grafting techniques by WWC. This cultured frag is ideal for marine aquarists looking to add a splash of vibrant colour and texture to their reef tanks.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Montipora corals require stable water parameters and consistent care to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended, such as T5, LED, or metal halide systems, to support healthy growth and maintain vibrant colours.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure proper gas exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation on the coral surface.
Placement: Position the frag in a well-lit area with moderate flow, ensuring it has adequate space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression or shading.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Montipora spp. are generally reef safe but can be sensitive to aggressive neighbours.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, deriving energy from symbiotic zooxanthellae, but will benefit from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; growth rate and size depend on tank conditions and care.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to maintain stable water parameters for SPS corals.
Regular monitoring of water quality, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels, is essential for the health of Montipora corals. This frag is a cultured specimen, ensuring responsible sourcing and sustainability.
