Montipora undata is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its intricate plating and textured surface. This medium-sized specimen is a popular choice among experienced marine aquarists seeking to add dynamic structure and vibrant colour to their reef aquariums.
Lighting: Montipora undata thrives under moderate to high lighting conditions. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems that provide a stable PAR range are recommended to support healthy growth and maintain its vivid colours.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal to ensure adequate nutrient delivery and waste removal without causing tissue damage. Avoid direct, strong currents that may stress the coral.
Placement: Position this coral in the middle to upper regions of the tank where it can receive sufficient light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow room for growth.
Care Level: Due to its SPS nature, Montipora undata requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance. It is best suited for intermediate to advanced hobbyists.
Compatibility: This coral is reef safe with adequate spacing and generally coexists well with other SPS and LPS corals. Avoid placing near aggressive species that may cause harm.
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.
Regular monitoring and supplementation of trace elements will support optimal health and vibrant growth.
