🔹 Overview
The Acropora millepora “Australian Light Pink” is an elegant wild-collected Australian SPS coral, admired for its delicate pastel pink coloration and distinctive, densely extended polyps.
Unlike intensely saturated pink varieties, this beautiful Millepora displays a softer, more refined colour palette, combining light pink, blush and subtle rose tones to create a graceful appearance within the reef aquarium.
Its characteristic elongated polyps give the colony a beautiful fuzzy texture, producing a gentle sense of movement under strong, variable water flow.
As the coral matures, its branches develop into an attractive, textured colony, making it an exceptional addition to premium SPS collections and pastel-themed reef displays.
Each frag is prepared directly from the selected Australian mother colony, allowing collectors to acquire a piece of this beautiful wild specimen.

🔹 Care & Feeding
Acropora millepora thrives in mature, stable reef aquariums with moderate to high lighting and strong, variable water movement.
As this specimen originates from a wild-collected Australian colony, careful acclimation is particularly important to minimise stress during the transition to aquarium conditions.
Provide strong, turbulent but indirect water movement to encourage healthy polyp extension and prevent detritus accumulation around the branches.
Maintain consistent alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels, avoiding sudden fluctuations that may lead to stress or tissue recession.
Gradually acclimate new frags to stronger lighting to preserve their delicate pink pigmentation and prevent light stress.
Although primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding with fine particulate coral foods, amino acids and plankton-based nutrition may support tissue health, polyp extension and growth.
Balanced nitrate and phosphate concentrations are essential for maintaining healthy coloration and overall coral vitality.
Important: As a Cut to Order coral, freshly prepared frags require an appropriate healing and recovery period before shipping. Dispatch will be arranged once the frag demonstrates suitable tissue condition and stability.
🔹 Recommended Parameters
Temperature: 24–26 °C
Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
Alkalinity: 7.5–8.5 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm
Nitrate: 2–10 ppm
Phosphate: 0.03–0.10 ppm
🔹 Placement & Compatibility
Ideally positioned in the middle to upper sections of the reef aquarium, 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.
Under stable aquarium conditions, this Millepora can develop beautiful polyp extension and delicate pastel pink pigmentation, creating an elegant display of colour and movement.
The final intensity of its pink coloration may vary depending on lighting spectrum, nutrient availability, acclimation and aquarium conditions.
