The ORA Pink Polyp Cap is a Montipora capricornis with an olive green base color and dark pink polyps. The contrasting polyp and tissue colors make this two-toned cap really stand out. This is a fast growing capricornis with a slightly bumpy texture and delicate skeletal structure. As the colony matures, its plating growth formation stays relatively flat allowing for continued polyp viewing from the front glass of your tank. We find that the green tissue color looks best in medium lighting with higher Kelvin bulbs.
