General info about Silver Bullet Monti
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 Silver Bullet Monti, they are predominantly colored red with green polyps. This are the water parameters in cultivating Silver Bullet Monti:
- 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
Silver Bullet Monti Diet & Nutrition
The Silver Bullet Monti 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 Silver Bullet Monti
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Silver Bullet Monti. They should be set on the middle or bottom part of the tank.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Silver Bullet Monti
The Silver Bullet Monti requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Silver Bullet Monti Origin
The Silver Bullet Monti 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 Silver Bullet Monti
The Silver Bullet Monti are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
