Species: Montipora spp.
Coral Type: Moderate SPS
Superman Montipora is a visually striking small polyp stony coral prized for its bold, multi-colored appearance. Colonies often feature a base of bright blue or teal with vivid red or orange highlights along the edges of encrusting plates or ridges, creating a dramatic “superhero” color effect. Polyps are small and tightly packed, giving a slightly textured surface that spreads steadily across rockwork. Under actinic or blue-spectrum reef lighting, the fluorescent pigments intensify, making the coral a vibrant centerpiece in SPS reef aquariums.
Coral Type: Moderate SPS
Lighting: Moderate to High lighting requirements (approximately 150–250 PAR)
Flow Rate: Moderate to High; indirect turbulence helps maintain polyp extension and prevents detritus accumulation
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic via 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.
