Overview
The Prism Veil Montipora is an encrusting rainbow morph that delivers spectacular chromatic display in compact form. Ideal for SPS collectors, this frag creates vivid, velvet-like mats that shimmer and shift in colour depending on light intensity and angle.
Highly photoreactive, it's a favourite in modern reef tanks for its explosive hues and steady growth habit.
Care & Growth
Requires good lighting and stable parameters. Provide moderate to high water flow to prevent debris buildup and promote healthy encrusting growth. A great coral for building texture and layering in SPS-dominated reef tanks.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Mount flat on rock surfaces with exposure to full-spectrum lighting. Avoid shading from larger corals to allow full pigment development. Can be fragged and propagated easily as it matures.
