Acropora millepora (Yellow-Green) | M

Acropora millepora (Yellow-Green) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid yellow-green hues and intricate branching structure. This medium-sized specimen is suitable for experienced marine aquarium keepers aiming to add vibrant colour and dynamic growth to their reef environment.

Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support its photosynthetic needs.

Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to ensure proper gas exchange and to prevent detritus settling on the coral’s surface.

Placement: Position this Acropora in the upper to middle regions of the tank where it can receive ample light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to reduce aggression and allow for healthy growth.

Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and environmental changes, this coral is recommended for advanced hobbyists with stable reef systems.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent stinging or overgrowth of neighbouring corals.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.

Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with low nutrients, consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels to promote optimal skeletal growth.
