Red Encrusting Montipora Colony

This Red Montipora is a hardy, fast-growing SPS coral with a bold red plating/encrusting growth pattern that adds strong color and structure to any reef tank. Its textured surface and layered growth make it a great choice for adding contrast, height, and a natural shelf-like look to an SPS section or mixed reef display.

Montipora corals do best in a stable reef system with moderate to high lighting and moderate flow. As it grows, it can plate outward and create a beautiful, layered effect across the rockwork.

Care Level: Moderate
Lighting: Moderate to High
