Montipora Cup Orange

About Montipora Cup Orange

Montipora capricornis grows in thin, swirling plates that stack into a vase or cup shape, here in bright orange. It is among the easiest and fastest small-polyp stony corals. The plates are brittle, so place it where it will not be knocked, and where the cup will not shade corals underneath.

Montipora Cup Orange care at a glance

• Lighting: Moderate to high – 150 to 300 PAR
• Water flow: Moderate to strong, random flow
• Placement: Middle to upper rockwork
• Feeding: Photosynthetic; fine powdered coral foods are a bonus
• Care level: Moderate – a good first step into small-polyp stony corals

For long-term health keep the water stable: 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025, alkalinity 8 to 11 dKH, calcium 400 to 450 ppm and magnesium around 1,300 ppm. Start new arrivals lower in the tank and move them up over a couple of weeks so they adjust to your lighting.
