Is Pink & Green Millepora difficult to keep? any suggestion?

 

[XSiVE]

In my experience most Millepora are relatively hardy, but I have high light and high flow everywhere in my system

I don't think anything is "hard" to keep. Once you have your system down and able to maintain correct/stable paramenters, they all will grow.

For a new SPS keeper, I recommend you do some research on what system you wanted to use with your reef. Once you have all the paramenters in line, you can just stock as you go. Start slow and don't make the mistake of overstock your tank with frags... I did that myself.

Dip all your frags and look out for bugs. That can ruin your day if you don't know how to deal with it.

Good luck!

+1 with keeping stable parameters.

Lots random flow is also important. You dont want to blast a coral from just one direction.

I find milli easy to keep

A few corals are difficult to keep. I challenge everyone to post an established abrotanoides. I know one in the UK has one but no one else.

Of course, stable parameters are ideal. However, in my experience, green and pink milles are more tolerant of alk and CA fluctuations than most acros.

Agreed with the high lighting and high flow comments.

this acro needs a lot of flow & should be on top your tank where direct to the light. this is very hardy acropora of what i have known base on my experience with any acro & fastest growing acro.
