Green Montipora Digitata Frag

About this coral

Green Montipora Digitata Frag Multiples Available is an SPS coral frag pack featuring Montipora digitata, a branching small-polyp stony (SPS) coral. In practice, digitata frags are a popular way to add vertical, finger-like structure to a reef tank while using reliable SPS husbandry—especially when you can maintain stable reef parameters and provide appropriate light and turbulent flow.

Features:

• Montipora digitata is an SPS coral that relies mainly on symbiotic algae for energy (photosynthetic), helping it fit well in well-established reef lighting.
• Branching growth with fine polyps can add vertical interest as the colony encrusts and then forms finger-like branches.
• General care is rated moderate/peaceful, making it a good candidate for aquariums transitioning into SPS.
• Provide moderate-to-high lighting and moderate-to-high, turbulent flow to help keep branches clean and reduce detritus buildup.
• Place on stable rockwork mid to high, with sufficient spacing to prevent shading and to avoid irritation from aggressive, sweeping neighbors.
• Maintain stable water quality (especially alkalinity) to support consistent color and avoid stress from rapid parameter swings.
