Yellow Elkhorn Montipora – Bright Branches, Classic Structure
The Yellow Elkhorn Montipora brings classic reef architecture and high-impact color together in one fast-growing coral. With its bold golden-yellow to lemon-colored branches, this coral grows in wide, flattened, antler-like formations that add instant height, shape, and motion to your reef.
Unlike delicate SPS, this Monti is rugged and fast to establish. It thrives under moderate to high PAR with strong, varied flow, forming tree-like structures that give your reef a true coral reef silhouette. Its branching form makes it ideal for open scapes, island builds, or as a backdrop behind tighter clusters of Acros and LPS.
