Acropora millepora (Blue) is a captivating SPS coral prized for its brilliant blue coloration and intricate branching structure. This large specimen is suited to experienced marine aquarists aiming to enhance their reef display with a visually striking coral.
Lighting Requirements: Requires high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or strong LED systems to maintain vibrant colour and healthy growth.
Water Flow: Prefers strong, turbulent water flow to mimic natural reef conditions, which helps prevent detritus accumulation and promotes optimal health.
Placement: Position in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to ensure adequate light exposure and water movement. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: This species demands stable water parameters and consistent maintenance, making it suitable for advanced hobbyists.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing too close to slower-growing or more delicate corals.
Regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels is essential to support skeletal growth. Supplementation with trace elements and maintaining pristine water quality will encourage vibrant colouration and robust health.
