Montipora Spongodes

Montipore Spongodes is an oddball from the montipora family. With it's toxic green skin with shines of purple occasionally leaking through, which also occurs throughout the polyps also! What makes this SPS an odd one from the montipora family is, not only does this encrusts over hard surfaces and can plate and even scroll/spiral in certain conditions.

Not only does it does this but it also branches out like most SPS that are available in the hobby and industry. This is also a great beginner SPS to try out for those looking to dip their toes in the water 

Like all SPS in general, montiporas likes stability in their environments, so will benefit from the stable levels of Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium along with various other trace elements found within the oceans.

SPS do not require a direct feeding from coral foods, but may take super fine foods like rotifers and reef roids.

Locally sourced from a sustainable coral farm and picture shown is provided by the supplier (frags may differ to image shown).
