Montipora malampaya

Montipora malampaya is an SPS coral known for its branching growth and fine surface texture. It often displays beautiful shades of green or yellow, sometimes with contrasting polyps, making it a great choice for adding structure and depth to a reef aquarium. This coral grows relatively quickly under the right conditions. Under blue lighting, it shows a yellowish glow in its polyps, which makes it an eye-catcher in any aquarium. This coral requires stable water parameters and good water flow.

Care in Aquariums:

• Lighting: Moderate
• Water Flow: Moderate to strong, to keep the surface clean
• Placement: Middle to upper areas of the tank
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic; benefits from stable nutrient levels and occasional fine coral foods
