Colouration ranges through bright green, orange, red, purple and blue, often paired with contrasting polyp or rim tones, and a healthy specimen will encrust and grow visibly across its base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMontipora is widely considered the best starter SPS coral: fast-growing, forgiving of husbandry mistakes, and capable of taking on plate, branch, or encrusting shapes in a wide spread of colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Indo-Pacific reefs, Montipora spreads from shallow flats to deeper slopes, tolerating a wider band of conditions than Acropora — hence its status as the go-to first SPS. AA013 should still be given moderate-to-high light and turbulent flow, positioned mid-to-upper in the aquascape, with consistently stable water chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232720470307,"sku":"AA1943","price":350.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/monitpora-sp-aa013-montipora-sp","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
