{"product_id":"grafted-montipora","title":"Grafted Montipora","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"323\"\u003eMontipora is a genus of small-polyp stony (SPS) coral and is one of the most popular and versatile corals in reef aquariums. While not as structurally dominant as Acropora on natural reefs, Montipora species are widespread and highly valued by hobbyists for their adaptability, rapid growth, and striking colour variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"325\" data-end=\"960\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eMontipora display a wide range of growth forms, including plating (often forming whorled or tiered plates), encrusting, and branching varieties. They also possess a hard, calcareous skeleton covered in very small polyps, though these are usually less pronounced than those of Acropora, giving them a smoother appearance. Many species feature intricate surface textures, such as bumps or ridges, which add to their visual appeal. Montipora generally require moderate to high lighting and good water flow, but are typically more forgiving than Acropora, making them an excellent choice for both intermediate and experienced reef keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of our frags are healthy, fully acclimated, and ready to thrive in your aquarium!
