Species: Montipora spp.
Coral Type: Moderate SPS
Dizzy Spell Montipora is a small polyp stony coral known for its vibrant, multi-colored appearance, often displaying a mix of green, purple, and pink hues across its encrusting plates or ridges. The tightly packed polyps create a slightly bumpy, textured surface, and the coral spreads steadily over rockwork, forming colorful patches that stand out in SPS reef aquariums. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, its fluorescent pigments intensify, producing a dynamic, eye-catching display.
Coral Type: Moderate SPS
Lighting: Moderate to High lighting requirements (approximately 150–250 PAR)
Flow Rate: Moderate to High; indirect turbulence supports polyp extension and prevents detritus buildup
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional target feeding with fine coral foods such as ReefRoids or Benereef can enhance growth and coloration
Aggression: Low toward neighboring corals, but allow space to prevent shading or overgrowth
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of any cross-contamination between systems, meaning all our livestock are ready for your display tanks.
