Tubbs Stellata Montipora – Sharp Contrast, Star-Studded Growth
The Tubbs Stellata Monti is a true reef classic, known for its deep blue to violet base covered in a dense field of bright orange to copper polyps—giving it a sparkling, almost star-like appearance. The intense contrast and fine texture make it a standout in any SPS layout, especially under blue-spectrum lighting where the colors truly explode.
This encrusting Montipora is fast-growing and hardy, perfect for adding a colorful base layer to rockwork, frag racks, or shaded reef zones. It thrives in moderate to high PAR with steady flow, spreading in elegant, low-profile sheets that let its bold color combination do all the talking.
