Tropic Thunder Monti

Tropic Thunder Montipora is perhaps the most famous or infamous encrusting SPS from the montipora family, with it's bright green polyps surrounded completely by an amazing pink skin throughout the rest of the coral.

Tropic Thunder is an encrusting montipora that likes to grow over rocks or flat surfaces, a good coral for using to cover up back walls, overflows or weirs. It's best to try to keep this particular specimen isolated on it's own rock or place where you can trim easily. As it can be very fast growing and can take over the rock it's growing on. 

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, phytoplankton and reef roids.
