(Also known as Antler Montipora, Branching Montipora, or Velvet Branch Coral)

Overview

The Antler Branching Hard Coral (Montipora sp.) is a small-polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its intricate, antler-like growth structure and fine, textured surface. Colonies display delicate, branching formations that resemble staghorn corals but with a smoother appearance and smaller polyps. Colours vary widely — from tan and green to purple, blue, red, or orange, depending on species and lighting intensity. Hardy for an SPS coral, Montipora is a favourite among reef aquarists seeking vibrant colour and dynamic form in their aquascapes.

Origin

Found throughout the Indo-Pacific region, including Fiji, Indonesia, Tonga, and the Great Barrier Reef. Typically inhabits upper reef slopes and shallow lagoon areas exposed to strong light and moderate water flow.

Feeding

Montipora corals are photosynthetic, housing zooxanthellae that provide most of their nutritional requirements. While they primarily rely on light, they also benefit from occasional supplemental feeding:

  • Phytoplankton and zooplankton blends
  • Coral-specific powdered or liquid micro foods
  • Amino acid or trace element supplements

Feed 1–2 times per week during periods of polyp extension for enhanced growth and colour.

Lighting

Moderate to high lighting. Provide intense, full-spectrum illumination from LED, T5, or metal halide fixtures. PAR levels between 200–350 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s are ideal.

  • Under higher lighting, colours become more vivid and growth denser.
  • In lower lighting, coral may brown or extend less.

Gradually acclimate to strong light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow

Moderate to strong, turbulent flow. This species thrives in brisk, multidirectional currents that deliver oxygen and nutrients while keeping surfaces clear of detritus. Avoid direct, laminar jets that could erode tissue.

Placement
  • Position in the upper to mid-level regions of the aquarium.
  • Mount securely to stable rockwork or frag plugs to accommodate upward, branching growth.
  • Allow space for vertical expansion and avoid contact with aggressive neighbours or corals with long sweeper tentacles.
Tank Mates

Peaceful and reef safe. Compatible with:

  • All reef-safe fish (clownfish, gobies, tangs, wrasses, etc.)
  • Reef-safe invertebrates (shrimp, snails, hermits, urchins)
  • Other SPS corals and clams, provided there is adequate spacing

Avoid:

  • Corals with strong stings or rapid overgrowth (e.g. Euphyllia, Galaxea, Palythoa)
  • Fish known to nip at SPS polyps (certain angels or butterflies)
Aggression

Peaceful. Does not possess strong stinging tentacles but can be outcompeted by aggressive neighbours. Maintain spacing of at least 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) from other corals.

Experience Level

Intermediate. The Antler Branching Montipora is one of the more forgiving SPS species, tolerant of minor fluctuations if general water quality remains high. It is an excellent choice for reef keepers transitioning from soft or LPS corals into SPS systems.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.025–1.026 SG
  • Hardness (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Phosphate: <0.03 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 75 gallons (280L) recommended for stable conditions

Regular testing and dosing (calcium, alkalinity, magnesium) are essential for skeletal growth and health.

Reef Compatibility

Fully reef safe. The Antler Branching Montipora adds intricate structure and vibrant colour to mixed or SPS-dominant reef systems. Fast-growing under ideal conditions, it forms complex colonies that provide natural shelter for small reef fish and invertebrates.

Excellent replacement blades
Size: 26"+16"+14"(B)
Fit my 2023 Mazda CX-30 perfectly. Challenging removing the original Mazda front blades. Very easy installing these new blades. I had to remove the rear wiper arm to install the new rear blade. first, lift the cover at the wiper arm pivot point to access the fastening nut. Loosen and remove the nut and washer with a 13mm socket. Replace the wiper and fasten the wiper arm with the original washer and 13mm nut. Snap down the pivot cover. The new blades operate quietly and thoroughly remove water from the front and rear windows.

Solid wiper blades at a reasonable price
Size: 26"+18"+16B(D-PTB)
The price of these was less than many other brands but I didn't notice a difference at all when installing and using them on my Saab. They were easy to install and function as designed to remove rain. Thankfully, I haven't had to use them to assist with snow removal yet, but I expect them to work just fine. The wipers work quietly, fit perfectly as explained in the description, and I had no issues with the installation. I am very pleased with the purchase and think these wiper blades compare favorably to more popular brands. I would recommend that you consider these if they make them for your vehicle.

Good wipers
Size: 26"+14"+10"(PTB)
These windshield wipers fit great for the front windshield. The small one will not fit on the back window. I have a 2017 Encore, which is supposed to work.

Crisp wipers, great price point
Size: 26"+17"+12"(B)
I bought these to replace the Rain-X wipers I had on my CR-V (which were terrible). Installation was easy, all 3 were the correct size, and I was pleasantly surprised that they actually work very well! Not a streak or drop left behind. Worth every cent! I’ll repurchase regularly!
