We generally show the coral frags under different
light settings:
- Top view blue light - 20,000 K
- Top view daylight - 12,000 K
- Reef tank shot without filter
- Reef tank shot with orange filter (= filter shot)
- Variation of frags
- optional: picture of the broodstock
When taking a filter shot, we deliberately choose not to use too much blue light in order to display the colors as naturally as possible and as one would perceive them without filter glasses. Please note that deviations can still occur due to certain display and lighting settings and subjective perception.
In terms of size, you can use the light grid plate to help you: one square is 1.6 x 1.6 cm. Our frag plugs measure 2 or 3 cm in diameter.
Montipora corals
Montipora corals, commonly called ‘Montis’ by many aquarists, belong to the small polyp stony corals (SPS corals). Thanks to their wide variety of shapes and colours, Montipora are very popular in reef tanks. You can find them in bright shades of red, green or pink and even two- or three-coloured variants are not uncommon among the Montipora.
How fast do Montipora grow?
Of course, this depends entirely on the species and the conditions in your aquarium. In general, it can be said that the plate-like Montipora and branched species grow significantly faster than, for example, encrusting specimens.
Keeping Montipora corals
Montipora have similarly high requirements in terms of husbandry as Acropora. However, they are not nearly as sensitive. The lighting can be strong, while a moderate current is perfectly adequate for Montipora plates. When placing plate-shaped corals, bear in mind that they will increasingly shade the area below. Light-loving corals therefore have no place there. Another point to bear in mind when positioning is that Montipora have hardly any cnidarian power. So while you can place different Montipora species relatively close to each other without any problems, ‘aggressive’ corals (i.e. those with long fighting tentacles and strong stinging power) should stay away from the Montipora.
