Size: 0.5 inch Grafted Purple Monti is an SPS coral known for its purple base coloration, contrasting red grafted sections, and textured encrusting-to-plating growth form. As it grows, the coral can develop unique patches of color across the colony, giving each piece its own distinct look while still carrying the same recognizable strain characteristics. This listing is for a frag of our Grafted Purple Monti. Photos may include the parent colony for reference, so the coral you receive may vary slightly in size, shape, color pattern, visible grafting, and overall appearance. Each frag will be selected from the same coral strain and should be fully healed before shipment or pickup. For best results, place this Montipora in moderate to high lighting with moderate, indirect flow. Provide enough room for the coral to encrust and develop its natural growth pattern, while avoiding strong direct blasts of flow that may irritate the tissue. Grafted Purple Monti does best in an established reef aquarium with stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and nutrient levels. Color may vary depending on lighting spectrum, camera settings, screen settings, shipping stress, acclimation, and aquarium conditions.
