General info about Neon Green Montipora confusa

The Montipora confusa is a horizontal plating Montipora with very pronounced ridges covering its undulating surface. Under intense lighting and flow, the coral has an overall green coloration which is interrupted between the ridges by small brown polyps. Occasionally this coral grows thick, columnar upright branches. This is a relatively slow growing coral that achieves best coloration under strong lighting conditions, though it is always best to gradually acclimate corals to a different lighting intensity.

Neon Green Montipora confusa Diet & Nutrition

The majority of their nutritional requirements come from photosynthetic, symbiotic zooxanthellae algae hosted within its body. It will also benefit from additional food fed weekly in the form of micro-plankton or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates. Montipora requires medium water movement within the aquarium, and for continued good health, it will also need the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water.
