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