Strawberry Fields Montipora – Multiples Available

About this coral

Strawberry Fields Montipora – Multiples Available is an SPS coral in the Montipora group, offered as multiple separate frags for reef aquariums. Montipora are prized for their distinct encrusting/plating forms and fine polyp texture, making them a popular choice when you want visible structure and a crisp look in a saltwater reef. Practical use: add these frags to your existing rockwork to build layered surface area and enhance visual texture—especially where you can provide stable water chemistry and appropriately strong lighting for small-polyp stony corals.

Features:

• Montipora SPS is valued for fine polyp texture and sculpted, reef-building style growth (encrusting, plating, or branching forms depending on the frag).
• Provides strong visual contrast and texture against smooth rock, base rock, and other plating/encrusting corals.
• Designed for reef displays where you can place frags with enough space to reduce competition and overgrowth.
• Responds best to stable reef conditions rather than sudden changes in light or flow.
• Needs moderate-to-strong lighting and an adequate, varied water flow typical for SPS to support tissue health.
• Generally benefits from feeding mainly indirectly via stable nutrients and good water quality, with direct feeding considered optional.

Specifications:

• Scientific name: Montipora spp. (Montipora group)
• Category: SPS coral
• Growth form: Encrusting, plating, or branching (varies by frag)
• Care level: Easy to moderate (general SPS guidance)
• Lighting: Moderate to high reef lighting; acclimate to higher light gradually
• Water flow: Moderate to high, varied flow; avoid direct, forceful tissue-blasting
• Placement: Provide stable placement on rockwork and spacing from neighboring corals
• Water chemistry (general): Stability matters; maintain reef-appropriate alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium for SPS
• Temperature: Typically maintained in a reef range (stable, not swing-prone)
• Salinity: Typical reef salinity
• Diet: Photosynthesis is primary; rely on good water quality for available dissolved nutrients
