Looking to add a fast-growing, vibrant coral to your reef tank? Meet the Elkhorn Montipora Stellata, a branching Montipora strain with green skin and striking dark green polyps.

This hardy SPS coral thrives in medium-to-high light and medium-to-strong flow, making it a standout addition to any mature reef aquarium. With its rapid growth rate, it forms stunning colonies that bring life and structure to your tank—but be sure to give it plenty of space, as it’s aggressive towards its neighbors!

Montipora corals, known for their diverse shapes and colors, are ideal for hobbyists seeking a forgiving yet rewarding coral. While stable water chemistry is key, Montipora are more tolerant of less-than-ideal conditions compared to Acropora, giving you a chance to correct issues before they deteriorate.

Care Tips
💡 Light: Medium-High (200-300 PAR)
🌊 Flow: Strong and randomized
📊 Chemistry: Focus on stability, aiming for ~8.3 dKH, 440 ppm Calcium, and 1350 ppm Magnesium.

Add this stunning coral to your reef and watch it flourish! Check it out in-store or online now. 💙

What Does “Aquacultured Corals” Mean?

At New Dawn Aquaculture, we specialize in aquacultured corals, meaning we grow and propagate corals sustainably in a controlled environment rather than harvesting them from the ocean.

🌱 What We Do:

• Carefully grow corals in our farm under optimal conditions.
• Replicate natural growth processes while protecting wild reefs.
• Offer healthy, vibrant, and tank-adapted corals for your reef systems.

💙 Why We Do It:

• Protect Wild Reefs: Every aquacultured coral means one less taken from the ocean, helping fragile ecosystems thrive.
• Healthier Corals: Aquacultured corals are better adapted to aquarium conditions, making them hardier and more likely to thrive in your tank.
• Reduced Risk of Pests: While no system is 100% pest-proof, aquacultured corals carry a much lower chance of pests because they aren’t pulled directly from the wild.

Why You Should Support Aquacultured Corals:
Unlike some stores that chop up and sell wild-caught corals for quick profit, we focus on long-term sustainability. Supporting aquacultured corals means:
✅ Contributing to reef conservation.
✅ Avoiding harm to delicate marine ecosystems.
✅ Bringing home corals that thrive in aquariums.

Make the ethical choice—choose aquacultured corals and help us preserve the beauty of our oceans for generations to come. 🌍

At New Dawn Aquaculture, we’re not just a store—we’re reefers, just like you. 🐠✨ That’s why we only carry products we know, trust, and use in our own tanks.

You won’t find hundreds of options for lights or salt here, and that’s intentional. We focus on selling products we believe in, allowing our team to stay knowledgeable and provide you with expert advice.

The same goes for our fish selection: we proudly offer captive-bred fish only. While we know some reefers love the variety of wild-caught tangs or other species, we’re committed to sustainable practices that protect our oceans. 🌍

We know this approach may not offer everything, but it ensures that what we do offer is the absolute best—for you, your tank, and the planet. 💧

Have a question about the products or fish we carry? Ask us! Our team is trained and ready to help.
