Red Manilla Spy Multiples Available Medium Sized Frag

About this coral

Red Manilla Spy Multiples Available Medium Sized Frag is an SPS coral frag sold under the “Montipora” group, commonly traded as branching Montipora varieties under reef-keeper color/line names. This frag is a practical way to add a hardy stony coral to your SPS setup so you can build coverage and texture on the rockwork while keeping overall husbandry demands within the typical Montipora range (group-level guidance).

Features:

• SPS coral from the Montipora group—generally considered more forgiving than many other SPS.
• Branching-style Montipora use sturdy growth to help create structure as they recover and resume calcification.
• Works best with stable reef-tank conditions and consistent lighting so the coral can maintain healthy tissue and coloration.
• Accepts moderate to strong, well-distributed water movement to help keep the surface clear.
• Placement in the mid-to-upper rockwork supports stronger light availability compared with the bottom of the tank.
• Low aggression: Montipora are not typically described as aggressive coral neighbors.
• A good candidate for aquarists moving from soft/LPS into SPS, provided parameters are kept stable.
