Montipora is a diverse genus of small polyp stony corals commonly found in reef aquariums. They are known for their variety of growth forms, including branching, plating, and encrusting types. Montipora corals exhibit a range of colors, from vibrant reds and oranges to subtle pinks and purples. They are relatively hardy and can be a good choice for intermediate reef keepers. These corals benefit from moderate to high lighting and water flow, and they thrive in stable water conditions with consistent levels of calcium and alkalinity. Montipora species often host a variety of marine life, including small fish and invertebrates, which can add to the biodiversity of a reef tank.
