Bright Purple-Pink Polyp Montipora: A Vibrant Addition to Your Reef

Introducing the stunning Purple-Pink Polyp Montipora, a fast-growing and hardy Small Polyp Stony (SPS) coral that brings intense color and dynamic structure to any marine aquarium.

Overview

The Purple-Pink Polyp Montipora, scientifically known as *Montipora digitata*, is a visually captivating coral with a branching growth form. Its branches are adorned with densely packed polyps, giving its surface a velvety appearance. While the base coral color can vary, this specific variant is celebrated for its vibrant purple hues, often accented by pinkish or purplish growing tips. It’s a fast-growing SPS coral that readily accepts fragments landing on suitable substrates, making it a dynamic and rewarding addition to a healthy reef system.

Care Level

This Montipora species is considered beginner-friendly within the SPS coral category due to its hardiness and rapid growth. It is peaceful and compatible with most reef tank inhabitants, provided ample space is given for its growth.

Tank Essentials

The Purple-Pink Polyp Montipora thrives in stable reef aquarium conditions. It requires moderate to high lighting (200-300 PAR recommended) and strong, random water flow to keep its surface clean and promote healthy polyp extension. Target a minimum tank size of 75 gallons (284 L) for a single specimen to allow for growth.

Diet

As a photosynthetic coral, its primary nutrition comes from its symbiotic zooxanthellae. However, it will benefit from supplemental feeding with liquid foods like phytoplankton or amino acids 1-2 times per week.
