General info about Electric Grape Monti

In general, corals coming from the genus Montipora takes several coral lifeform like submassive, laminar, foliaceous, encrusting and branching. Their appearance and coloration is usually mottled in nature.  They have corallites that are considered one of the smallest as far as the family of corals is concerned. Their walls usually has an elaborate structure and has a porous texture.

This are the water parameters in cultivating Electric Grape Monti:

  • Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.5 MEQ/L
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1350 - 1500
  • Strontium: 10
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.024 - 1.025

Electric Grape Monti Diet & Nutrition

The Electric Grape Monti get its primary nutrition from a symbiotic algae called zooxanthelae that is living within their tissues. But despite this symbiotic relationship with an algae, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp in the water.     

Fragging / Propagating Electric Grape Monti

A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Electric Grape Monti. They should be set on the middle or bottom part of the tank.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Electric Grape Monti

The Electric Grape Monti requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.

Electric Grape Monti Origin

The Electric Grape Monti can be found in the waters of the Indo Pacific Ocean. They are considered as a vulnerable species listed under Appendix II of the CITES list.
