Hey everyone, I was wondering if montipora would be a good coral for a newer tank? If it’s beginner friendly? I’ve heard both that it is and isn’t and really need some guidance from some SPS lovers. THANKS!

Awesome thanks man. I’m not really sure it’s a mystery package from world wide corals. Think I should give it a shot?Which kind of montipora? Most are forgiving and easy as long as parameters are stable and in range. Some are more challenging like beach bum and other montis like that. Simple monti caps and digitata are pretty bulletproof ime.
I put in a monti digi and cap at like 2 months with my first tanks. Both are still going well and growing at 2.5 months later. I think it depends on you. Do you test daily or every other, do you do water changes weekly or dose properly etc. it seems a lot of this is mainly up to the tank keeper (baring obvious things outside your control)
I would. My most recent tank has been running less than two months and I have multiple types of montis including ones that most people say ‘wait a year’ to add. They are all doing great. If you know you have the proper flow and parameters I don’t see why it wouldn’t be worth a shot from a mystery pack.Awesome thanks man.

Thank you @TalkinTangie!! I’ll give it a whirl lol.I have a few variations of montipora in my tank and I love the growth and different options! Good luck!
Try a 10 dollar frag of red Monti cap and see how it goes.

coralline isn’t always a good teller as I’ve had some fish eat it and I have gone months wondering what I was doing wrong. I’ve also seen urchins eat it.How does your coralline look? If ubiquitous, as others have said, try a red monti cap
ya, and then spend the next couple of years struggling to keep it from shading and growing over your other corals. lolTry a 10 dollar frag of red Monti cap and see how it goes
