🧬 Overview

The Pink Millepora Acropora is a collector’s favourite and a timeless classic in high-end SPS reefs. Known for its plush polyp texture and flowing movement, this coral combines structure and softness, creating a stunning contrast of form and colour.

Its pastel tones develop into richer hot-pink fluorescence under stable, nutrient-balanced conditions — the perfect centrepiece for an SPS collection that values refinement and colour harmony over intensity alone.

🍽️ Care & Feeding

Entirely photosynthetic, but colour vibrancy and polyp health improve with amino acid supplementation and occasional fine coral feeding (e.g. Reef Roids or Coral Dust).

Maintain stable alkalinity and calcium, and dose trace elements (particularly potassium and iron) to sustain the delicate pink chromoproteins.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement

Position in upper reef areas with strong, randomised flow and direct lighting.
Avoid shadowing from neighbouring SPS — consistent PAR exposure maintains pastel brightness and prevents dulling of the pink hues.
