WWC Cherry Tree Montipora Coral

The WWC Cherry Tree Montipora Coral is an exquisite addition to any reef aquarium, offering a unique aesthetic appeal with its vibrant colors and intricate growth patterns. This coral is a cut to order frag, ensuring that each piece is healthy and ready for introduction into your tank. Please allow up to 2 weeks for healing if a prepped frag is not available. For the best results, we recommend selecting a shipping date at least a week away from purchase.

Frag Size: 1/2 - 3/4 inch frag

Placement: For optimal growth, mount your new coral using IC gel glue, putty, or a combination of both. It should be placed on a rock or ledge in an area that receives direct lighting and ample flow.

Feeding: Top Shelf Aquatics suggests a nutrition plan for SPS coral that includes a combination of Zooplanktons, Phytoplanktons, Amino Acids, and other Organic Proteins. A daily broadcast feeding with the return and circulation pumps off will ensure your corals receive the necessary nutrients.

Lighting & Flow: Montipora corals require moderate to high water flow and intense lighting to maintain proper color. Whether using T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's, achieving the right PAR levels is crucial. A 14-20K color spectrum is recommended for the best coloration.
