Description

Montipora, from the Acroporidae family, are the second-largest genus of corals with over 200 species. They are a small polyped stony coral with uniquely tiny polyps and corallites that give many of them a fuzzy, velvety look. Montipora coral’s hardiness makes it the best SPS coral for beginners and experienced reef keepers alike.  Although hardy in some ways, Montipora are usually mild mannered and if they are crowded by other corals or algae they will be on the losing end, so be sure to give them space!

This Monti was grown at Reefgen's sustainable aquaculture farm in Riverhead, New York.  With a salmon-pink background and lime green polyps, this bright "Sunset" Montipora will be a great addition to any reef environment, especially one with LED lighting!
