We acquired this exotically colored Montipora from Hugo Zuniga of Orange County California. Under strong light levels the base of this massive Montipora becomes bright blue, while its polyps develop into a bright red. There are only a couple of Montipora colonies being farmed within the US that have this exotic color pattern. Fragments from these corals have been demanding high price tags. This particular specimen appears to be a Montipora monasteriata species. There are very few large bumps or tuberculae on the surface. In some areas there are none. Growth form is thick plating to massive. Current requirements are moderate to weak. Steve Tyree is maintaining this coral for reeffarmers.com in one of his 125 gallon naturally filtered Tri-Zonal EG Reef Aquariums. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positoned to recieve strong light under a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium Metal Halide. The red polyp coloration of the coral is easily maintained within this reef. Please note - In August 2010 Reeffarmers retired this coral due to a loss of its seed.
