Multi Layer Blood Pool Montipora Coral Frag

Multi Layer Blood Pool Montipora, Montipora capricornis or Montipora sp., is a colorful plating stony coral known for its scrolling layered growth, textured surface, and vivid reef coloration. This WYSIWYG frag features deep red to red-orange plating tissue with lighter pink-orange edge highlights and a stacked, multi-layer growth form that creates strong structure and movement in the aquascape. Montipora corals are popular with reef hobbyists because they add bright color, plating form, and natural reef architecture to established aquariums with stable conditions.

Care Guide: Montipora sp. generally does best in moderate to high lighting and moderate to strong indirect water flow. Provide enough flow to keep the plating surfaces clean and prevent detritus from settling between layers, but avoid harsh direct blasting. Place this frag on stable rockwork where it has room to plate, scroll, and grow outward. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature, as Montipora corals are sensitive to major parameter swings. This coral is photosynthetic and does not require target feeding, though it may benefit from fine particulate coral foods and stable nutrient availability in a mature reef system.
