Stylophora pistillata (Milka) | XL

Stylophora pistillata Milka is a stunning SPS coral prized for its dense branching structure and vibrant purple-pink coloration. This extra large specimen offers a bold focal point for mature reef aquariums, adding both texture and colour diversity.

Lighting: Requires moderate to high lighting, ideally provided by LED or T5 fixtures designed for SPS corals. Ensure gradual acclimation to intense light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Prefers strong, turbulent water movement to mimic natural reef conditions and promote healthy polyp extension.

Placement: Position in the upper to middle regions of the tank where lighting and flow are optimal. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and ensure healthy growth.

Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Stable water parameters and consistent maintenance are essential for long-term health.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may cause damage.

Regular monitoring of water chemistry, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, supports robust skeletal growth. Feeding is generally not required but occasional supplementation with coral foods can enhance colour and vitality.
