I have a green A. millepora in a simple 12g mixed reef nano tank and it has been quite robust. They generally like bright light and med-high flow. In nature, they are one of the most widely distributed and successful corals and they can generally adapt to varying conditions (within reason).

Post a pic and your exact parameters for what you are testing and you'll get more help.

I find millepora to be on the easier side, most SPS I purchase lose a little color at first, and then slowly gain it back over a few weeks...not the case with my 3" gold/green millie. It never lost color, has very good polyp extension, and survived a week of power outage with tank temperatures dropping to 59 degrees for several days and no light.

What kind of lighting are you running?

All SPS seems to be the same for me. Just keep your a/c/m up and stable.

Ya mine color up anywhere from a few weeks to a few months different pieces act different in my personal experience anyway
