Montipora is a great choice of stony coral for beginner reef tanks. Montipora is considered an easy coral to keep in a reef tank and we suggest introducing this coral to an established reef tank that has been running for at least six months. Montipora are popular corals because they come in a huge range of color morphs. Montipora coral has vibrant fluorescent colors often with small polyps that are a contrasting color to the surrounding coral tissue.
Additional information: Care: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert - Flow: medium, High - Lighting: Moderate, High
Water Parameters:Calcium: 440 ppm is the ideal level, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Calcium is essential for coral growth and skeletal development. Alkalinity: 9 dKH (degrees of carbonate hardness) is the target, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Alkalinity helps maintain stable pH levels and is crucial for coral health. Magnesium: 1350 ppm is the recommended level, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Magnesium plays a role in calcium and alkalinity balance. pH: Aim for a pH as close to 8.3 as possible, according to Bulk Reef Supply. Maintaining a stable pH is vital for coral growth and overall tank health. Temperature: Reef tanks typically thrive in temperatures between 75- and 80-degrees Fahrenheit. Salinity: A specific gravity of 1.025 or 35 PPT is generally recommended. Specific Gravity: Should be kept between 1.023 and 1.025. Nitrate (NO3): Levels should be kept low, ideally around 5 ppm or less. Phosphate (PO4): Should be kept as low as possible, generally below 0.03 ppm, according to Recif'Art.
"Frankenstein Leptoseris" refers to a specific strain of Leptoseris coral, a small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its encrusting growth pattern and often vibrant colors. These corals are hardy and fast-growing, making them a popular choice for reef aquariums.
