A branching Montipora digitata with a blue body, orange to orange-red polyps, and fluorescent green growing tips that shade to yellow. It encrusts first and then sends up long, brittle fingers.

How to tell it is the real thing

The Forest Fire colours on a blue body: a Forest Fire is green to teal underneath with the same orange-red polyps, and shops say plainly that the two are confused. Some keepers argue the difference is lighting, so read the body under white light. A few shops use the name for a pink digitata, which is a different look. One farm credits the long-gone Wet Thumbs with making it popular; nobody else traces it, so the name works as a description rather than a line.

Keeping Montipora

Encrusting or plating, and it will take the rock it is given. Bubblegum Digitata is beginner to keep at a typical PAR of 150–250 in moderate to high flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.

One frag is a single cut on a plug, whatever its exact size. Colonies, mini colonies and mother stock are excluded rather than averaged in. Nothing on this page is for sale.
