Overview
The Mean Strike Montipora is a true standout in any reef setup, with its deep red plating base electrified by vivid blue polyps that shimmer under actinic lighting. This coral offers a dynamic contrast rarely seen in the Montipora genus and brings depth and visual interest to SPS-dominated tanks.

Ideal for experienced reefers looking to elevate their SPS game, the Mean Strike is fast-growing and creates stunning layers and ridges that provide both visual complexity and biological surface area. Its bold coloration develops best under strong lighting and pristine water conditions.

Care & Feeding
While largely photosynthetic, the Mean Strike Montipora will benefit from broadcast feeding with planktonic coral foods and maintaining stable parameters. Regular dosing of calcium and magnesium helps it build and sustain its skeletal growth, while trace elements and amino acids enhance polyp extension and coloration.

Optimal Parameters
Alkalinity (dKH): 8-11
Calcium (Ca): 420-460 ppm
Magnesium (Mg): 1300-1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO3): 2-10 ppm
Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm

Placement
Place this coral on rockwork or racks in the mid to high areas of your reef, where it receives strong light and moderate to turbulent flow. Avoid shaded spots or low-flow zones to prevent detritus build-up and ensure vibrant growth.

Electric Color, Striking Detail The Mean Strike Montipora adds attitude and intensity to any reef, with unmatched contrast and energy. A premium SPS piece for those who love bold visuals.
