This unique monti is a shocking orange colour and unlike the commonly available 'orange' monti really is orange rather than brown that might look orange under certain light. This is bright orange in any light. It is an easy to care for SPS requiring only moderate light levels. It has a branching growth form with blunt growth tips. The polyps are an intense orange with an orange base and paler growth tips.
How long we've kept this coral: 8 years.
Tips
- Calcium and alkalinity levels are important for all corals but especially so for SPS - for tips on maintaining the correct levels see the Reef Chemistry page.
- SPS respond well to food of the right size - we feed ours regularly on rotifers.

Lovely monti
“Fantastic packing and a lovely Monti, very good size which has settled in well. The colour is a vivid deep Orange in my aquarium and looks fantastic. Once again CO have done themselves proud, will definitely be buying from them in the future.”

Huge healthy frag
“My first order with CO won't be my last. What they send you are actually mini colonies not frags. The value in them compared to the minuscule frags you get virtually everywhere is pretty amazing. This coral looks fantastic and has encrusted beyond the ceramic disc and overflowing off the plug”

Orange Delight
“This was my first time placing an order with CO and it won't be my last, my only regret is that it's taken me this long. The Frags are way bigger than i had expected, which is always a pleasant surprise. Delighted with the colouration of the coral, beautiful Orange which is encrusting around the base. Delivery and packaging is First Class.”

Beautiful colour
“This coral has the most beautiful colour in any light. Had it in our tank for over a month now and it looks like it has doubled in size. Frags are so much better than we see at any shop and the way they are packaged for shipment is exceptional. Thanks for the great service.”

None Better
“I bought this coral six months ago along with three others. When they arrived the frags were all larger than expected, clearly in top condition and expertly-packed. Since then they have doubled in size and are generating frags of their own. I now have nine Captive Ocean frags in two tanks and have never been disappointed. Captive Ocean clearly have high standards, and I've not found a supplier who can provide the same quality of product and service.”

Fantastic
“Great Orange colour on this Coral, the frags are of good size, competitively priced and put some of the other frag suppliers to shame. Well packaged. Definitely a return customer here, in fact just placed another order.”
By David R on 28/05/2017
Wow!
“The brightest orange coral in my tank, or any that I have ever seen. Truly stunning under blues and like all corals I've received from you, it is a good size. Thank you :)”
By Steven H on 03/04/2017
Another great coral
“This frag was huge, at least 4 inches tall. The colour is a true orange, rather than the orangy/brown of my plating monti. They arrived packaged up in individual tubs and all in all an amazing purchase.”
By Chris E on 05/03/2017

Big orange frag
“Excellent service arrived next day despite the fact that I ordered at 12.10pm the shop responded to my email question within an hour and the frags are well packed and larger than other sell their frags. This monti is particularly impressive because of its colour it has a nice orange colour even in daylight and is even better in blue light. Very happy about the purchase.”
By Sarka C on 19/06/2016
Truly Orange
