True Undata


Montipora undata True Undata Colony
Photo by Tracy Gray

This spectacular Montipora undata has to rate as one of the most exotic Montipora stony corals we have seen in captivity. This particular speciman looks exactly like the image in Corals of the World Volume 1 by Veron on page 87 image 7. The Montipora undata species has a variety of forms and ecomorphs. Forms range from plates to thick columns to thick branches. This particular morph has a smooth surface and grows in a thick plating form. There are tuberculae formed into smooth ridges on the surface. The tiny colony that reeffarmers.com is farming was grown from a fragment that was acquired from Eddie at Tropical Paradise in San Leandro California (near Oakland). Eddie has an incredible collection of corals and this particular one was awesome. Eddie acquired this specimen in a shipment from Indonesia. The polyps are bright white. The main body is green. Edges and tuberculae ridges are purple. This coral seems to require very strong to intense light levels. More purple pigmentation may develop under brighter light levels. Current requirements are moderate. Reeffarmers.com is calling this morph of Montipora undata the 'True Undata'. This is just a way for us to define this very unique growth and coloration pattern. Steve Tyree is maintaining this coral for reeffarmers.com in one of his 125 gallon naturally filtered Tri-Zonal EG Reef Aquariums. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positoned to recieve moderate to strong light under a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium Metal Halide, but the coral is slowly being adapted to strong light levels. The white polyp coloration of the coral is easily maintained within this reef. Price is currently $50 per small sized fragment.
