Montipora Digitata is a stunning branching coral, known for its vibrant colors and unique finger-like growth. Its branches can display a variety of hues, from bright greens, oranges, and reds to purples and browns, often with an iridescent sheen under the right lighting. This coral creates a striking, 3D structure in your tank, adding both texture and depth with its finger-like projections.
Montipora Digitata thrives under moderate to high lighting and prefers medium to high water flow, which helps keep its polyps extended and its surface clean. While it relies primarily on photosynthesis through its symbiotic zooxanthellae, occasional feedings of small plankton or coral foods can encourage faster growth and improve coloration.
Though peaceful, Montipora Digitata requires space to grow, as it can be sensitive to high nutrient levels and aggressive neighbors. Ensuring a stable environment and providing plenty of room will help this coral flourish and become a beautiful centerpiece in your reef tank.
