🧬 Overview
The Pastel Rose Millepora is a refined collector’s coral — glowing with quiet, sophisticated beauty. Its rose-pink branches paired with fluorescent green polyps create a living bouquet of contrast, motion, and soft radiance. In stable high-energy systems, it develops a velvety texture with fine polyp extension and layered pastel tones that shift gently throughout the day.
Ideal for SPS keepers who appreciate both delicate pastels and vivid fluorescent detail, this coral showcases Acropora millepora at its most artistic.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, though it benefits from weekly micro-feeding with fine coral foods (Reef Roids, Coral Dust, phytoplankton). Maintain excellent water quality and stable trace elements (potassium, iron, manganese) to preserve its dual-colour contrast and encourage strong tip growth.
