montipora

Not from my tank but I got a few big frags of it in my tanks. Just had to show off this monster red monti cap. More vids and store tour on my YouTube at Aidansaquatics and ig at Aidansaquatics

most of my chalice, LPS, montipora, and euphelia corals have been either closed, or loosing color. I’ve tested and everything seems normal. Soft corals and zoas look fine. Any ideas?

This is for SPS experts. I have a one year old 25G lagoon tank, corals are growing, great color but about once per month my 8” digi colony polyps will partially contract and color off then recover and repeats!! Whats the deal? Just did 4G water change in case there is something weird going on...

Introduction: I have a modest following on Instagram: @Hardy_Reef detailing the progress of my Red Sea Reefer 350 and figured I should document a build thread on Reef2Reef. I'll start by showing where I currently am in the hobby and where I have come from. I dove into this hobby in 2018 with...

We’re new to the coral game and I’m trying to understand how to pick shelf vs. encrusting corals for our new 200g build. This is especially challenging with all of the stupid coral names out there. My understanding is that monti capricornis for instance will form a shelf, while certain others...

It seems that the general consensus is that coral's zooxanthellae utilize nitrates for coral growth, coloring, etc. But on average, is there some sort of chart or general knowledge about how many nitrates corals can pull from the water in a given amount of time? For instance, One Polyp of...

This montipora is a new addition. Around noon it was fine, I fed some mysis and went about my day. Checked back around 5 pm and this was on it. I tried to blast it off with a pipette but it took a lot of effort and it blew some of the color of the monti away as well. I thought I got all of it at...

I'm losing some monti I've had since I started my system. I'm thinking it could be too much lighting, my alkalinity was sky high a few weeks back but these montis have been STN since about Christmas time. I have a full sized one that is completely healthy and it seems only these two are doing...

Hello all. Well I'm starting to see signs of a pest in my corals. Could this be marks of NEM? What could be a useful in tank treatment? Thanks for the help.

Hello guys, I am new to SPS corals and decided to try some montipora to begin with. All but one of the pieces seem to be doing fine. The one however seems to be receding colour. I am worried for him. I have lights set lower than usual to help acclimatise them in. Is there anything I am...

I recently acquired a red montipora from my friend one week ago. All of the sudden it appears the tissue is falling off. Within eight hours it is halfway gone. All of my water parameters are in line and the only thing I can think of is possibly my lighting may be stronger than my friends. I...

I recently acquired a red montipora from a friend exactly one week ago and all of the sudden, the tissue appears to be falling off. Within about six hours it is almost all white. All of my water parameters are in line and the only thing I can think of is my lighting may be different and/or...

I got a purple digi frag almost 2 years ago now and like all digi’s it’s grown very fast. 6 months ago I upgraded from a 15 to a 40 gallon. I broke off the heaps of digi I had that was very healthy. When I put the new rocks in the new tank I noticed some digi left on the rock and didn’t care...

Hello hello.. I've decided to take a stab at some montis recently, but im having some trouble. I added these two frags on Dec. 30th and they looked great. Now, the flesh is lightening up quite a bit, but the polyps are still extending nicely but the color is dull. Any help/tips would be...

ok so i finally decided to get a sps for my new tank and i’m gonna be holding it in my old one but i have a question ok so when it’s closed part of it looks white on the bottom i’m assuming the top means new growth my second question is why dose only the one side have polyps because it was...

Heey, So I have 3 red montipora growing under my ReefLED 50s. 2 of them are directly under the reefleds: And 1 is on the front window: Now I understand that, the Monti's that are directly under my ReefLED's are more brightly coloured (pink) rather than the darker red of the one on the 2nd...

I bought a incrusting montipora with green polyps. The velvet on it was green when I bought it but now it's showing signs of a beautiful red/rainbow color. But the polyps are staying green. Is it a variation of a rainbow encrusting montipora? The velvet was damaged and went away for some time...

I need to get rid of some of my red montipora, I’d be interested in a trade but willing to give some away since it’s growing so fast in my tank.

Hello, new to reefing. New Montipora Seasons Greeting frag arrived from online order - anyone know what appears to be growing on the side of the coral? Thanks!

When I do large water changes, I have a large chalice coral (echinopora) that gets exposed to the air so it ends up producing a lot of mucus. When I fill the tank back up. This mucus flows throughout the tank. Last time, it ended up getting on an Acro and monti frag and killed some of the...
