Seasons Greetings Montipora

Montipora corals are small polyp stony (SPS) corals that belong to the Acroporidae family.  With 85 known species of Montipora, there are several different growth morphologies present within the genus. Some colonies exhibit submassive, laminae, foliaceous, encrusting, and branching growth. A single colony may exhibit multiple types of growth.  With a variety of body types and growth styles, it isn't surprising that Montipora corals are also found in a wide variety of colors and textures.
