Red Polyp Grinch Plating Montipora Colony

The Red Polyp Grinch Plating Montipora, Montipora capricornis, is a striking SPS coral with a bright green plating body and tiny red polyps. As it grows, this coral forms layered plates and scrolling shelves that add structure, color, and depth to established reef aquariums.

Care Guide: Montipora capricornis thrives in stable SPS systems with moderate to high lighting and moderate to strong indirect flow. Keep alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium consistent to support healthy skeletal growth. Place the colony where it has room to plate outward and where debris will not collect on the surface.
