General info about Crazy Clementine 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 Crazy Clementine Montipora, they are predominantly colored brown with blue polyps and a blue coloration on the rim or margin. This are the water parameters in cultivating Crazy Clementine 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
