Overview
The Solar Veins Montipora is a rare and electrifying signature piece, showcasing the spectacular result of natural grafting in Montipora sp. Its vibrant gradients mimic the intensity of a solar flare — a vivid cascade of orange and yellow streaks layered with veins of fire-red and golden tones.
This is a true collector’s coral — ideal as a showpiece frag in high-end SPS systems.
Care & Growth
Montipora thrive in stable, mature reef environments. Provide high PAR lighting and chaotic flow for optimal growth and colour expression. Supplement with amino acids and balanced trace elements to accentuate its unique pigmentation.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–5 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Position in high-light, high-flow areas of the reef. Avoid shadowed or low-flow corners to prevent detritus buildup and colour fading. Allow ample space for encrusting growth and spreading.
