week #14 coral of the week { montipora capricornis }. This coral is pictured on page 80 of the book the Corals of the world by Jen Veron.
I just want to say alot of what will be posted here probably wont be m. capricornis. It might be m. confusa, m. aequituberculata, m. florida, m. delicatula or m. foliosa plus a few others that are not even motipora. They all look pretty close and are usually sold under the m. capricornis name. That is what this thread is for. May be we can find out for sure what you have. We can also use the ones that are close to help us identify the main coral. So if you are not sure what you have post it and let us help you out. If I did a coral of the week on any of the ones I just listed no one would probably post so here is were to put them anyway.
Every week I will post a new coral and I want you to post everything you know about this particular coral. Everything from common names, how hardy they are, water temp, water flow, lighting, water parameters, fraging, spawning, related corals, scientific names, feeding, best ways to ship, etc. Post your pictures for identification. Please tell us about your system so others can duplicate your success. Also email me for request on which corals you would like to see in this section.
