Red Plating Montipora Small Frag (Montipora capricornis) A bright red plating SPS coral that forms beautiful layered shelves as it grows

The Red Plating Montipora is a popular SPS coral known for its intense red coloration and distinctive plating growth pattern. As it matures, it develops thin, layered plates that stack and spread outward, creating striking structure and depth within a reef aquarium.

Under strong reef lighting the red tones become even more vibrant, providing excellent contrast against green, blue, and purple corals. Montipora species are generally considered one of the more forgiving SPS corals, making them a great option for reef keepers looking to expand into SPS corals.
