Overview
Elevate your reef aquarium with our Encrusting Montipora Pack, featuring a vibrant selection of five encrusting Montipora corals in dazzling green, yellow, and rainbow color variations. This carefully curated pack provides a dynamic range of hues and patterns that create a stunning visual impact, making it perfect for hobbyists looking to enhance their coral collection.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, these Montipora corals are hardy and adapt well to a variety of tank setups, thriving under moderate to high lighting and steady water flow. Their encrusting growth pattern allows them to spread across the rockwork, creating a beautiful, living tapestry of color and texture. Peaceful in temperament, these corals pair well with other non-aggressive species, adding harmony to your reef ecosystem.
As photosynthetic corals, Montiporas sustain themselves through their symbiotic zooxanthellae but also benefit from occasional supplemental feedings of planktonic foods or coral-specific nutrients. These feedings promote faster growth and richer coloration, particularly in nutrient-poor systems.
Stable water conditions are key to maintaining the health and vibrancy of your Montipora corals. Proper levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity ensure strong skeletal development, while keeping nitrate and phosphate levels low helps prevent algae growth and preserves their brilliant colors.
Each coral in this pack comes mounted on a ceramic plug for easy placement and secure attachment to your reef structure. Approximate purchase size per frag: 2 to 5 cm.
