Red Montipora Digitata

The Red Montipora Digitata (Montipora digitata) is a vibrant, branching SPS coral that grows quickly under stable reef conditions. A great option for beginners ready to explore SPS, this coral thrives under strong lighting and flow.

Aquarium Care Requirements – Red Montipora Digitata

• Lighting: Moderate to high. Strong, stable lighting (LED, T5, or metal halide) is required to maintain vibrant red coloration and support healthy growth.
• Water Flow: Moderate to strong, random flow is ideal. Ensures nutrient exchange and prevents detritus from settling on the branches.
• Placement: Mid to upper areas of the tank to ensure sufficient light and water movement. Allow space around it for vertical branching.
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but will benefit from occasional feedings with fine particulate foods like phytoplankton, reef roids, or amino acid supplements.
• Aggression: Peaceful. No stinging tentacles, but like most SPS, it can be sensitive to contact from aggressive corals. Give it room to grow without touching others.
