🔥🌅 Jason Fox Bloody Sunrise Montipora – Frag (Photo Reference)
Montipora sp. – Iconic Red–Orange SPS With Intense Fluorescence (Representative Photo)
🧬 Overview
The Jason Fox Bloody Sunrise Montipora is a world-renowned SPS coral, instantly recognisable for its deep blood-red base blended with fiery orange to golden highlights that glow intensely under blue/actinic lighting.
This morph delivers dramatic colour contrast and is a staple in high-end SPS collections.
⚠️ This is NOT WYSIWYG — the photo shown is a representative example.
You will receive a healthy, tank-grown frag of the same morph, with comparable colour expression and growth form. Natural variation in shade and pattern is normal.
🔹 Quick Stats
-
Care Level: Moderate
-
Temperament: Peaceful
-
Colour Form: Deep red base with bright orange/yellow sunrise highlights
-
Lighting: Medium to High (PAR 200–350)
-
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, random
-
Placement: Mid to upper rockwork or areas suitable for plating/encrusting growth
💡 Growth & Colour
Bloody Sunrise is known for fast encrusting and plating growth. Under stable reef conditions, expect:
-
rapid base encrustation
-
intensified red and orange contrast over time
-
strong fluorescence under blue lighting
Balanced nutrients are important — ultra-low systems may cause colour fading. Stable alkalinity supports clean growth edges and vivid pigmentation.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from:
-
fine powdered coral foods or micro-plankton
-
amino acids 1–2× weekly
Supplemental feeding helps deepen colour saturation and promotes faster spread.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place where light is strong and flow is broad to encourage even plating and maximise the red-orange “sunrise” effect.
