Acropora millepora (Red-Pink) | T

Acropora millepora (Red-Pink) is a striking small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid red and pink hues and delicate branching structure. This tiny, tank-bred specimen is perfect for marine aquarists looking to add a splash of vibrant colour and complexity to their reef tanks.

Lighting: Requires strong, high-quality lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LEDs to maintain optimal colour and growth.

Water Flow: Prefers moderate to high water flow to ensure proper gas exchange and removal of detritus, which supports healthy polyp extension.

Placement: Position in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where lighting and flow conditions are ideal. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.

Care Level: This species is best suited to experienced hobbyists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters and consistent water quality.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing too close to aggressive corals to prevent tissue damage.

Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels is essential to support skeletal growth. Fragging should be done carefully due to its delicate branches.
