🧬 Overview
The Mustard Glow Millepora is a refined and uncommon colour morph, favoured by SPS keepers who appreciate warm, organic tones over neon intensity. Its mustard-yellow pigmentation develops beautifully under strong light and stable nutrients, creating a soft golden ambience in the reef.
As the frag grows, the branches develop a gradient from muted mustard bases to brighter golden highlights, forming a warm, earthy contrast against blues, purples, and greens in mixed SPS displays.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, though colour depth improves with occasional micro-feeding (Reef Roids, Coral Dust, or Phytoplankton). Maintain stable alkalinity and trace elements — especially potassium, iron, and manganese — to support its yellow and golden pigmentation.
📈 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
Place the frag in high PAR with strong, alternating flow to maintain its mustard-yellow hue and ensure clean, even growth. Avoid shadowing from larger SPS colonies.
