🧬 Overview
The Golden Halo Millepora is an SPS collector’s treasure — a coral that captures the brilliance of reef sunlight in living form. Its vivid yellow pigmentation remains stable under high-energy reef conditions, producing a soft, radiant glow that adds warmth and harmony to SPS-dominated systems.
Each branch is smooth, refined, and densely coated with delicate polyps that shimmer in the flow, reflecting light like a crown of living gold. A striking centrepiece for aquarists who admire purity, brightness, and natural elegance.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, but benefits from weekly supplementation with fine coral foods (Reef Roids, coral powders, phytoplankton). Stability is key: maintain consistent alkalinity, calcium, and essential trace elements (iron, potassium, manganese) to preserve its bright yellow pigmentation and prevent any dulling of colour.
📈 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
Position in the upper rockwork with bright, alternating flow. Avoid shaded areas and ensure stable high-PAR exposure to maintain maximum pigment saturation.
