  Special Requirements and Information:
This Montipora aequituberculata is unusual in many aspects. As an encrusting coral you will find more of the plate versions than this "staghorn" styled tube version. You can see the many feeding "mouths" in this image.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid. Just remember that your coral will only accept food that's small enough for them to use. Make sure that you have other livestock in your tank to clean up any excess. Consider feeding them directly with a turkey baster directly into the bubble areas.
While encrusting corals do not require expert skills or a lot of attention, they do need good water conditions and should not be placed in a new tank.
