Montastrea Coral is a beautiful and fascinating LPS coral that comes in a variety of colors and forms. It is a popular choice among hobbyists due to its relatively easy care requirements and striking appearance. This coral typically has a hemispherical or domed appearance and is found in the Caribbean region.

The Montastrea Coral requires moderate lighting and water movement, along with supplementation of calcium, strontium, iodine, magnesium, and trace elements. It is essential to leave ample space between Montastrea corals and neighboring corals as they are aggressive and can expand sweeper tentacles at night. While this coral mainly feeds through photosynthetic, symbiotic zooxanthellae algae, it will benefit from supplemental feedings of micro-plankton or baby brine twice per week. With the proper care and attention, the Montastrea Coral can thrive and add a beautiful and unique element to any reef aquarium.
