This WYSIWYG frag displays bright green to yellow-green coloration with closely spaced branchlets that give the colony its characteristic bushy appearance. As it matures, \u003cem\u003eMontipora\u003c\/em\u003e can develop dense branching growth that adds both structure and color to an established reef aquarium. Coloration and growth form can vary with lighting intensity, water flow, nutrient availability, and overall aquarium conditions. Because several branching \u003cem\u003eMontipora\u003c\/em\u003e species can look similar and species-level identification cannot be confirmed reliably from the photograph alone, \u003cem\u003eMontipora\u003c\/em\u003e sp. is the most scientifically appropriate designation for this specimen.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMontipora\u003c\/em\u003e sp. generally prefers moderate to high reef lighting with moderate to strong, turbulent water flow. Good circulation helps keep detritus from accumulating among the branches and supports healthy tissue growth and calcification. Place on stable mid to upper rockwork with adequate room for continued branching growth. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, nitrate, and phosphate. Montipora is primarily photosynthetic but can also capture fine suspended plankton and particulate foods. Stable water chemistry is especially important, and sudden changes in alkalinity, salinity, temperature, or lighting should be avoided. Gradual acclimation to stronger lighting is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895946641641,"sku":"U25 S1725","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/bushy-green-branching-montipora-sps-under-25-pea-F-S1725.jpg?v=1789706788","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/bushy-green-branching-montipora-under-25-pea-f-s1725","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
