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