Acropora millepora is a popular small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its beautiful branching growth and vivid colouration. This extra large specimen offers an impressive display piece for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Requires strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LEDs to thrive and maintain vibrant colours.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to strong, turbulent water flow to ensure optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery while preventing detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position higher in the aquarium to maximise light exposure. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Suitable for experienced aquarists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters and consistent water quality.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; maintain sufficient distance from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Regular monitoring of water parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is essential for healthy skeletal growth. Maintain stable temperature and salinity levels to reduce stress.
