Overview
The Pineapple Millepora is a striking coral that features a unique yellow-green base with bright yellow tips and subtle orange accents, reminiscent of a tropical pineapple. This vibrant coloration makes it a standout addition to any reef tank, offering both a burst of color and a fascinating texture.
As a cut-to-order species, the Pineapple Millepora will be carefully harvested and cut upon order. Once your order is placed, the frag will be allowed two weeks to grow and mature before shipping, ensuring a fresh and healthy coral for your tank.
Care & Feeding
The Pineapple Millepora thrives in high lighting and requires moderate to strong water flow for optimal growth. Though it is primarily photosynthetic, it will benefit from occasional feedings of planktonic foods, such as mysis shrimp or specialized coral foods, to enhance its growth and vibrant coloration.
Maintaining stable water conditions, especially calcium, magnesium, and trace elements, is essential for the coral’s health and the preservation of its bright color.
