Montipora capricornis, the plating or "cap" monti, is a small polyp stony coral (SPS) that grows in swirling shelves and vases. It is one of the more forgiving ways to get into SPS.
Care: Moderate to high light and moderate to strong flow. Keep alkalinity, calcium and magnesium stable. Give it room to plate outward, since the shelves will shade whatever sits below them.
How we take our photos: under EcoTech Radion XR30 G6 Blue at 100% blue, so colors can look a little different under your lights.
