Aquarium Care Requirements – JF Grafted Sun Monti
- Lighting: Moderate to high intensity. This Montipora thrives under strong LED, T5, or metal halide lighting to maintain its vibrant colours.
- Water Flow: A moderate to strong, steady flow is ideal. This ensures debris is kept off the coral and promotes healthy tissue growth.
- Placement: In the mid to upper levels of the tank, where it can receive ample light and flow without being overshadowed.
- Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional supplemental feeding with coral foods like phytoplankton or amino acid supplements to enhance growth.
- Aggression: Generally peaceful, but like most SPS corals, it can engage in chemical warfare if placed too close to other corals. Maintain proper spacing to avoid competition.
