Placement: 
Mount the "Green Star Polyp" frag using IC gel glue, or putty,
on an exposed rock or ledge in the aquarium where it will receive
direct flow and light. If you do not want them growing on your your
main rock structure, try creating a Star Polyp island by mounting
them to one larger rock and placing it as an island in your sand bed.

Lighting & Flow Requirements:
The "Green Star Polyps" require moderate water
flow and moderate lighting to maintain its color.
T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow montipora
corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We
recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.

Dosing:
We uses and recommends dosing Ca, Alk, & Mg 2,3, this 
will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant
through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, & Mg.

Water Chemistry:
It is important that proper calcium (420-440 ppm), alkalinity
(8-9.5 dkh - run it 7-8 if you are carbon dosing) , and magnesium
levels (1260-1350 ppm) are maintained. Raising magnesium levels
gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks,
just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg. Nitrates should be
below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend
doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to
replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media
Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by 
fluidizing it.

Coral in the pictures are not WYSEWYG, photos were made
under different lighting (blue or white lights) & in different tanks
(our show of frag tanks). You will get coral size as described,
shape and color could be slightly off due to shipping stress.
