Acropora millepora (Red-Pink) is a visually captivating SPS coral prized for its vibrant red and pink coloration. This large specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarium hobbyists aiming to enhance their reef display with a bold and colourful Acropora.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under moderate to high-intensity lighting, such as metal halide, T5, or high-quality LED systems, to maintain its vivid pigmentation and healthy growth.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the tank to ensure it receives adequate light and water movement. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting, Acropora millepora is recommended for experienced keepers familiar with stable reef conditions.
Reef Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, supplemented by occasional feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific supplements to support growth.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to support skeletal development. Regular monitoring and water changes are advised.
