General info about Blue Summit Montipora
In general, corals coming from the genus Montipora takes several coral lifeform like submassive, laminar, foliaceous, encrusting and branching. Their appearance and coloration is usually mottled in nature. They have corallites that are considered one of the smallest as far as the family of corals is concerned. Their walls usually has an elaborate structure and has a porous texture.
As for the Blue Summit Montipora, they are predominantly colored blue violet with green polyps. This are the water parameters in cultivating Blue Summit Montipora:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.5 MEQ/L
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1350 - 1500
- Strontium: 10
- Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.024 - 1.025
Blue Summit Montipora Diet & Nutrition
The Blue Summit Montipora get its primary nutrition from a symbiotic algae called zooxanthelae that is living within their tissues. But despite this symbiotic relationship with an algae, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp in the water.
Fragging / Propagating Blue Summit Montipora
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Blue Summit Montipora. They should be set on the middle or bottom part of the tank.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Blue Summit Montipora
The Blue Summit Montipora requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Blue Summit Montipora Origin
The Blue Summit Montipora can be found in the waters of the Indo Pacific Ocean. They are considered as a vulnerable species listed under Appendix II of the CITES list.
How to Acclimate Blue Summit Montipora
The Blue Summit Montipora are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
