🧬 Overview
The Flaming Rose Millepora stands among the most impressive Acropora colour morphs — an ultra-pink showpiece that defines premium reef aesthetics. Its dense branching form paired with constant polyp extension gives it lifelike movement and striking texture.
Ideal for experienced SPS keepers who appreciate saturated colour and refined structure, this coral develops stunning chromatic layering: hot-pink bases, glowing magenta branches, and luminous blush-pink tips. A genuine centrepiece for any high-energy SPS system.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Entirely photosynthetic, Acropora millepora thrives in tanks with strong flow and stable chemistry. Occasional micro-feeding with coral foods (Reef Roids, phytoplankton, coral powders) once per week can support enhanced growth and pigmentation. Stability is vital: maintain consistent alkalinity, calcium, and nutrient levels to preserve its vibrant pink hues and prevent colour loss.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 430–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Mount on upper rockwork with high light and strong, alternating flow. Avoid shaded or low-flow zones to maintain colour intensity and healthy branch formation.
