🧬 Overview
The Emerald Green Acropora millepora is a beautiful SPS selection, combining intense green pigmentation with the characteristic textured appearance and polyp extension that make Millepora corals so desirable among reef enthusiasts.
Its branches display rich emerald-green tones complemented by lighter green highlights, creating a fresh, vibrant appearance that stands out beautifully in established SPS aquariums.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of Acropora millepora is its dense, extended polyp coverage, which gives the coral a soft, almost velvety appearance. Under suitable water movement, the polyps gently sway, adding subtle movement to its otherwise rigid branching structure.
Under blue-spectrum reef lighting, the green pigmentation may exhibit particularly attractive fluorescence, enhancing the coral's vivid coloration and highlighting the contrast between its branches and extended polyps.
As the frag develops, Acropora millepora can form increasingly impressive branching colonies, often displaying compact, bushy growth patterns with excellent visual density.
This WYSIWYG frag has been individually selected for its attractive green coloration and characteristic Millepora appearance, making it an excellent addition to any premium SPS collection.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Acropora millepora is a photosynthetic SPS coral that obtains most of its energy through its symbiotic dinoflagellates. It may also benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with fine planktonic foods and suspended organic particles.
Provide moderate to strong, variable water movement to support efficient nutrient transport, gas exchange and the removal of accumulated detritus. Millepora corals generally respond well to turbulent flow, which also helps encourage healthy polyp extension.
Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium concentrations are essential for consistent skeletal growth. Maintaining measurable nitrate and phosphate levels helps support tissue health, pigmentation and overall coral vitality.
Balanced reef lighting is important for preserving its attractive green coloration. Avoid sudden increases in light intensity, particularly when introducing the frag into a new aquarium.

📍 Placement
Position the frag in the middle to upper sections of the reef, where it receives moderate to high lighting and strong, multidirectional water movement.
Allow sufficient space for future branching growth and avoid direct contact with neighbouring corals.
Acropora millepora can develop dense, bushy colonies under suitable conditions, making it an excellent choice for creating a vibrant green focal point within an SPS-dominated reef.
