Montipora are arguably the second most popular small polyp stony coral behind Acropora. This is for good reason. Montipora possess both diverse color variations as well as a multitude of growth forms. The care tips we will go over in this video are intended to provide a baseline that will give hobbyists the best chance for success. They may be overkill for the hardier species of Montipora while the more delicate specimens may require additional TLC to keep them healthy. #tidalgardens #coral #montipora Music: Tracks: “Peace of Mind” Artist: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) License Terms: Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Video: Camera Gear List on Amazon Canon C200 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 Free Fly Movi Pro Stabilizer Kessler Crane Motorized Slider Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.

Coral aggression is serious business! Everything on a coral reef is trying to battle for more real estate and the organisms on the reef developed specialized methods to wipe out their neighbors. In our home aquariums we have to be conscious of these in order to find the best location for them long term. #tidalgardens #coral #reeftank Music: Tracks: “Peace of Mind” Artist: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) License Terms: Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Video: Camera Gear List on Amazon Canon C200 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 Free Fly Movi Pro Stabilizer Kessler Crane Motorized Slider Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.

Catalaphyllia jardinei a.k.a. the elegance coral holds a special place in my heart. Way back when I first started the hobby, the elegance was one of the corals that immediately grabbed my attention and became an aspirational piece that I had to have. #tidalgardens #coral #reeftank Music: Tracks: “Peace of Mind” Artist: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) License Terms: Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Video: Camera Gear List on Amazon Canon C200 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 Free Fly Movi Pro Stabilizer Kessler Crane Motorized Slider Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.

Back in 2008 AquaSD in San Diego was unpacking a shipment of corals and came across a stunning Acropora millepora that created quite a buzz among SPS enthusiasts. Frags of this coral, the AquaSD Rainbow Millie, started to spread around the reef keeping community, becoming a must have coral for many SPS collectors, especially among those who craved millies, like me ? There are other corals today that generate much more buzz, and higher prices, but the AquaSD Rainbow Millie is certainly a worthwhile addition to any reef tank. It has neon green polyps that contrast beautifully with vivid orange corallites, which have more pronounced coloration near the tips of the coral’s branches.

Chalice corals represent a large group of wildly disparate corals that share little in common past their flat, plate-forming appearance.
