Montipora

How to care and how/what to feed I'm new as you can tell Also minimum tank size for them ? Thanks in advance

Min tank size I'd say is maybe 30 gallons, in a tank any smaller the calcium will just get soaked up by corals.. They need high light, strong flow, and clean water, but more importantly a STABLE system. No sudden changes.

I specifically don't feed any of my corals. I feed my fish, and they in turn feed the corals. However, you do have to supply proper alkalinity and calcium for any of the hard corals so they can build their skeletal structure.

As far as minimal tank size, I don't think there is one. In a very small tank you might need to trim back frequently, more or less a bonsai of monti.

I have both "plate" and "finger" monti in my tank, and the plate grows very fast. I trim mine back at least every six months.
