{"product_id":"green-branching-montipora-under-25-pea-f-s1726","title":"Green Branching Montipora Coral Frag","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eGreen Branching Montipora, \u003cem\u003eMontipora\u003c\/em\u003e sp., is a branching stony coral known for its elongated branch growth, fine surface texture, and vivid green coloration. This WYSIWYG frag displays bright green tissue across slender branching growth with subtle raised corallites visible along the surface. As it matures, \u003cem\u003eMontipora\u003c\/em\u003e can develop into an open branching colony that adds both height and structure to the reef aquarium. Color intensity and growth form can vary with lighting, water movement, nutrient levels, and overall aquarium conditions. Because multiple branching \u003cem\u003eMontipora\u003c\/em\u003e species can appear very 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 settling on the branches and supports healthy tissue growth and calcification. Place on stable mid to upper rockwork with sufficient 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. Supplemental feeding is optional in a mature reef aquarium. Stable water chemistry and gradual acclimation to stronger lighting are especially important for maintaining healthy coloration and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895964074217,"sku":"U25 S1726","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/green-branching-montipora-sps-under-25-pea-F-S1726.jpg?v=1789706803","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/green-branching-montipora-under-25-pea-f-s1726","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
