Pink millepora

Community submission

Pink Millepora is one of the most visually striking Acropora you can keep — the hot pink to magenta coloration under blue-heavy lighting is intense, and the bottlebrush growth habit keeps colonies looking full and structured rather than sparse. Top placement is required — high PAR, high flow, and good gas exchange; millepora is a shallower-water species that doesn't compromise on light intensity. Despite being listed as intermediate, millepora is unforgiving about alkalinity stability — swings of more than 0.5 dKH per day will cause tip bleaching that a lot of people misdiagnose as a lighting problem. Dose amino acids weekly for color maintenance and keep your alkalinity controller or dosing schedule rock solid; millepora is the coral that will expose every flaw in your parameter management.
