Hellfire Montipora Frag

$45.00

Turn your reef into a blazing spectacle with the Hellfire Montipora Frag—a high-impact SPS coral that lives up to its name. This encrusting variety features a smoldering red to crimson base with neon orange polyps that seem to glow like embers under actinic light. It's an instant attention-grabber and a must-have for collectors who want their reef to burn bright with color.

Hellfire is fast-growing and holds its intense coloration well in high-light environments. It does especially well when placed on rock ledges or vertical surfaces, where it can encrust and spread like living lava. With the right conditions, this frag will quickly become a standout feature in your SPS section.

Note: This is a representative photo. Each frag is carefully cut and healed from our aquacultured mother colony and may vary slightly in shape and size.
