Overview
The ASD Rainbow Milli, also known as AquaSD Rainbow Millepora, is a renowned small polyp stony (SPS) coral revered as a gateway species for high-end Acropora enthusiasts. Distinguished by its shaggy appearance due to extensive polyp extension, it exhibits a captivating neon green base with glowing orange-to-red corallites and delicate pink tips under optimal reef conditions.
Colorization
- Multi-toned appearance featuring a neon green or yellow base
- Vivid orange to red corallite coloration
- Pink or purple growth tips complete the dazzling spectrum
Size
Typically offered as a frag sized between 0.5 to 1 inch, ideal for aquarists ready to cultivate this advanced SPS coral.
Lighting
Requires intense lighting conditions of 300 to 450+ PAR to maintain vibrant colors and prevent browning, thriving best under bright reef lighting setups.
Water Flow
Prefers strong, turbulent, and random water flow to keep its long polyps gracefully waving and to ensure optimal oxygenation of dense tissue.
Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae but greatly benefits from daily broadcast feeding, including fine zooplankton, oyster feast preparations, or amino acid supplements to enhance growth and coloration.
Aggressiveness
Generally peaceful as it lacks lengthy sweeper tentacles; however, it can sting nearby SPS corals if contact occurs due to its territorial tendencies during expansion.
Care Level
Advanced care requirements similar to other Acropora species, with a critical need for absolute stability in water chemistry parameters including alkalinity, calcium, and nitrate levels for sustained health and vibrant coloration.
