Montipora spongodes

[muggle0981]

Was told this was a montipora spongodes

correct?

best pic right now

was told from lfs it is realtively hearty snd simplistic for begginner sps

im confident in my reefing abilities, just looking to see if anything i should know

worry about it blocking light from corals below if it grows?

thanks

Yeah it is! Great coral I love it’s growth pattern

Fingers cross it works out

radion xr 15 blues set at 60% for their soft lps, hope that is enough

They get big quickly!

 

[muggle0981]

it can get big

Putting in this top corner

Would be great to fill in and nothing underneath shouldnt be too affected if some light blocked

Need to open pic up to see placement

I couldn't kill it if I try. Great coral grows like a weed under all light conditions. Less flow you see much more brown polyps and less green, in good flow some polyps retreat showing off more of the green. Seems to grow faster when it's fuzzier.

Here is mine. Same as above. This thing is way easier to grow than many softies or lps I've had. Survived all my noob mistakes.

 

[muggle0981]

Then i shouldnt kill it

Fingers crossed

Montipora spongodes for sure. It’s pretty easy coral if keep your water parameters steady no ups and downs…

Usually pretty consistent
