Out of all the sps corals species montipora are one of the easiest to care for. Montipora Digitata is part of this montipora family is also a relatively easy hard coral to keep in your aquarium. It likes strong flow and par levels of above 200, so it does well about half way up in most aquariums. It thrives under both led and t5 lighting. It comes in a variety of colors and even some grafted types. It is one of the fastest growing species of hard corals and once established growth can be explosive.
This easy to keep green digi shown above has been grown in our coral farm for many years.
It doesn\\\’t have any sting but should be given plenty of room to grow. It normally will first encrust on to the rock to set up a strong base and than branch out from there. Its structure is quiet delicate and can be easily fragged with simply your fingers. It often will get fragged accidently by regular tank maintenance. There is one predator that will eat them known as the montipora eating nudibranch. It will attack this species as well as all other species of montipora.
If you have never tried hard coral monticap or this digi both make excellent candidates for your first sps coral. Dipping like all other corals is recommended for this coral before adding to your tank.
