🧬 Overview
The Solar Flare Millepora is a coral of pure heat and motion — a blazing Acropora millepora that radiates energy through every branch. Its vibrant orange tissue and glowing tips create a natural fire effect in the reef, turning any aquascape into a sunlit burst of colour.
Highly prized by advanced SPS collectors, this morph offers the perfect balance of saturation, texture, and growth — a living flame that thrives under strong light and stable, high-energy conditions.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, Acropora millepora thrives under intense light and turbulent flow. Supplement with fine coral foods once per week (Reef Roids, coral powders, phytoplankton) to enhance colour depth and branch growth. Maintain stable alkalinity and trace elements (iron, manganese, potassium) to support its vivid pigmentation and fluorescent highlights.
