Montipora - Cap - Cherry Bomb Gorgonians not on the sandMontipora require stable water quality ideally provided in a well established aquarium over 6 months old. High levels of nitrate and phosphate are not tolerated and may cause browning; although low, stable levels are necessary for best growth and color. Alkalinity, calcium, magnesium and strontium are required for growth and should be checked regularly. They are prone to many pests, most notably nudibranch which are very difficult to eradicate.
