The Montipora palawanensis is a showstopper SPS coral known for its vibrant coloration and unique ridged texture. Unlike smooth plating Montis, this species forms thick plates with dramatic folds and surface detail that add instant depth to your aquascape.
Coral Highlights:
🟢 Eye-Catching Texture – Deep grooves and vivid contrast under blue light
💡 Moderate to High Lighting – Brings out bold color and healthy growth
🌊 Medium to Strong Flow – Prevents detritus buildup and promotes polyp extension
🔬 Care Level: Intermediate – Best in established reef systems
Growth Pattern: Encrusting to plating, expanding over time into sculptural, tiered colonies. Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but can benefit from occasional broadcast feeding (reef roids, aminos). Placement Tip: Give it space to spread and avoid shade from faster-growing corals.
