Under white light, the coral reveals pearlescent rose branches with emerald-green pinpoints, creating a refined, high-contrast candy effect.

🧬 Overview
The Acropora millepora “Mint Rose” is a high-end colour morph prized for its elegant pastel foundation and hyper-fluorescent polyp contrast. This is the kind of mille that looks soft and refined from afar — then punches you with neon when you get close.
The branch structure is compact and bushy, with dense corallite coverage. When polyps are fully extended, the metallic green creates a glowing halo around each branch, giving it that “sugared” look collectors love.
This piece is offered cut to order, freshly fragged from a mature, colour-stable mother colony with proven long-term performance.
Each cut-to-order frag is selected for:
• Clean, soft pink base colour (not beige)
• True metallic neon green polyp expression
• Dense polyp coverage and strong extension
• Healthy, pest-free tissue
• Proven colour stability under high-end LED systems
• Fast encrusting base and compact growth form
A boutique SPS for reefers who appreciate contrast, finesse and rarity.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Millepora thrives in nutrient-balanced systems with strong flow.
Feed 2–3× weekly with:
• Amino acids
• Phytoplankton & zooplankton blends
• Fine coral foods (reef roids, powders)
• Maintain detectable NO₃/PO₄ for best polyp extension
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in upper to mid rockwork with strong, chaotic flow.
Ensure high light exposure to maintain pink base and green polyp intensity.
Avoid shaded zones — this morph needs light to stay candy.
