Superman Montipora

Montipora. Intermediate to keep, Typical PAR 150–250, moderate to high flow.

Rarity tier: uncommon, reviewed 2026-08.

ENCRUSTING Montipora, not a plating one: a deep blue to royal purple base carrying red to orange polyps. The colour contrast is the whole point, and a lavender-based version circulates as Purple Superman.

How to tell it is the real thing

Purple fades under low light and the coral becomes an ordinary brown crust. Placement matters more here than with most Montipora. Reverse Superman is a separate named line, so check which one a listing means.

Keeping Montipora

Encrusting or plating, and it will take the rock it is given. Superman Montipora is intermediate to keep at a typical PAR of 150–250 in moderate to high flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral rather than a measured requirement for this morph. Spectrum, how it was acclimated and the system it grew in all move it.
