🧬 Overview
The Pink & Green Acropora millepora is a premium SPS coral admired for its striking contrast between vibrant pink branches and intensely fluorescent green polyps. Its bold colour combination, dense branching structure, and exceptional daytime polyp extension make it one of the most visually impressive Millepora varieties available.
As the colony matures, it develops thick, compact branches covered in long, flowing polyps that create a soft, velvety appearance. Under blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescent green polyps glow intensely against the vivid pink skeleton, producing a spectacular display of colour and movement.
Maintained under stable reef conditions, this collector Millepora rewards experienced reef keepers with rapid growth, outstanding colour retention, and an impressive display colony.
Selected for:
- • Brilliant pink and fluorescent green colouration
- • Outstanding daytime polyp extension
- • Dense, compact branching structure
- • Exceptional actinic fluorescence
- • Premium WYSIWYG collector specimen
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Although primarily photosynthetic, Acropora millepora benefits from regular feeding of fine suspended foods and amino acid supplementation, promoting stronger growth, vibrant colouration, and excellent polyp extension.
Recommended feeding:
- • Reef Roids and fine powdered coral foods
- • Zooplankton-based SPS foods
- • Amino acid supplements
- • Live or preserved phytoplankton as part of a balanced feeding regime
Maintaining stable alkalinity and low but measurable nutrient levels is essential for achieving the best long-term colouration and healthy skeletal growth.
