GR Highlighter Montipora
GR Highlighter Montipora is a stunning SPS coral known for its electric yellow-green coloration that practically glows under blue LED lighting. This encrusting or plating Monti variety adds a vibrant neon splash to any reef tank and makes an excellent contrast piece in SPS-dominated systems. Its bright fluorescence and fast growth rate make it a favourite among collectors and reef hobbyists looking to elevate their display.
Aquarium Care Requirements
Lighting: GR Highlighter Montipora thrives under moderate to high lighting. Blue or actinic spectrum lighting enhances its neon yellow-green fluorescence, making it a standout in the tank.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong water flow is ideal. This helps keep the coral’s surface clean and promotes healthy encrusting or plating growth.
Placement: Place in mid-to-high areas of the tank to ensure it receives sufficient light and flow. Avoid shaded areas for optimal coloration and growth.
Feeding: While it relies mainly on photosynthesis, it can benefit from occasional feedings with fine particulate foods like Reef-Roids or amino acid supplements to support growth and coloration.
Aggression: Low aggression. GR Highlighter Montipora is peaceful but should be given space to expand and kept away from aggressive or stinging corals.
