Kung Pow 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. As for the Kung Pow Monti, they are predominantly colored green with yellow polyps. This are the water parameters in cultivating Kung Pow 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

The Kung Pow 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. 

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

The Kung Pow Monti requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.

The Kung Pow 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.

The Kung Pow Monti are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
