Forest Fire Montipora Digitata

<p>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.</p> <p>As for the Forest Fire Montipora Digitata, they are predominantly colored green with red polyps. This are the water parameters in cultivating Forest Fire Montipora Digitata:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.5 MEQ/L</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1350 - 1500</li> <li>Strontium: 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.024 - 1.025</li> </ul>

<p>The Forest Fire Montipora Digitata 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.   </p>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Forest Fire Montipora Digitata. They should be set on the middle or bottom part of the tank.</p>

<p>The Forest Fire Montipora Digitata requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.</p>

<p>The Forest Fire Montipora Digitata 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.</p>

<p>The Forest Fire Montipora Digitata are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>
