Acropora millepora (Blue) is a visually striking small-sized SPS coral prized for its vibrant blue hues and intricate branching structure. This species is ideal for experienced marine aquarists aiming to add a splash of colour and complexity to their reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support its photosynthetic needs.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to ensure optimal gas exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation on the coral’s surface.
Placement: Position the coral in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting, Acropora millepora (Blue) is best suited for advanced hobbyists with stable, mature reef systems.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid stinging or overgrowth issues.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific supplements.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with low nitrates and phosphates, and ensure consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to support skeletal growth.
