Acropora millepora is a highly sought-after SPS (Small Polyp Stony) coral known for its striking branching structure and vibrant colours, making it a prized addition to mature reef aquariums. This large specimen offers an impressive display and contributes to the biodiversity and complexity of your reef environment.
Lighting: Requires strong, high-quality lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support optimal photosynthesis and vibrant pigmentation.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to high water flow to ensure effective nutrient exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation on its delicate branches.
Placement: Position higher in the tank to maximise light exposure, ensuring adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Suitable for experienced aquarists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters and consistent water quality. Regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential for skeletal growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals that may cause tissue damage.
With proper husbandry, Acropora millepora can thrive and become a stunning focal point in your marine aquarium.
