Acroporidae

Small Polyp Stony

Montipora Digitata is by far the most popular branching species of montipora that is easily distinguishable by its small, recessed polyps that give it a pitted appearance. One of the most unique digitata variants has got to be the Contraband Digitata that is grafted with a red and green color combo.
Montipora is the second largest species of SPS corals in the world and is largely responsible for building the immense calcium carbonate substructure that supports our oceans coral reefs. They require clean water, lots of light, a very stable/mature environment, lots of water flow, and require regular additions of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity supplements to thrive.
Montipora Digitata is fairly easy to keep, grows quite fast, and should be placed in the upper half of the aquarium. Although Montipora is mainly photosynthetic, relying on the products of their zooxanthellae, they should also be fed phytoplankton and zooplankton, as well as other products like Coral Feast and Reef Energy or other amino acids and probiotics.
