The Sunset Millepora (Acropora millepora) is a legendary, ultra-vivid SPS coral that represents the pinnacle of high-light reef keeping. Famous for its thick, shaggy blanket of long polyps, this designer morph features a brilliant bright yellow to golden-lime skeleton base adorned with fiery neon-orange to coral-pink growth tips, while its dense polyp forest glows in electric orange and green.
When fully expanded, the coral appears almost furry, creating a dynamic, flickering effect as its polyps dance in heavy water movement.
Coloration: Golden-yellow to lime-green encrusting base, electric neon-orange to coral-pink growth tips, and a dense, carpet-like forest of bright orange and green polyps.
Growth Pattern: Tabular / Bushy (forms tight, clustered branches that eventually flatten out into wide, table-like structures).
Lighting: High (PAR 300–450+).
Water Flow: High to Very High (Strong, turbulent, and indirect current).
Feeding: Photosynthetic, but actively captures fine planktonic feeds, amino acids, and dissolved organic nutrients.
Aggressiveness: Semi-aggressive (encrusts over adjacent slow-growing SPS and can sting sensitive neighbors).
Care Level: Advanced (Requires an established system, intense lighting, and strict parameter stability).
