The Green Montipora capricornis Coral is a small polyp stony (SPS) coral often referred to as Vase Coral.
Green Montipora caps are one of the easier to maintain SPS corals and grow rapidly in the established reef aquarium. Once the coral is established in your reef tank its growth can dwarf other corals when provided the right lighting, combined with a medium water movement within the aquarium and the addition of calcium and other trace elements to the water.
Montipora Corals come in a vast variety of forms and colors, but this variety is a nice deep vivid green. This is a fast growing coral that tends to dwarf others, so make sure it places somewhere in the tank with ample room to grow.
