The Blue Acropora millepora Coral is a very beautiful species of Acropora with a vivid blue coloration. A. millepora corals are unique in their scaly appearance when the polyps are retracted. These corals can take many different growth forms depending on the water movement and light that it receives, but will typically grow in a clustered form. If provided with enough alternating current, they will show their very long, hairy polyps. The Blue Acropora Millepora Coral prefers a moderately high light level combined with strong intermittent water current within the aquarium. For continued good health, it will require the addition of supplemental calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water. These aquacultured corals are fragmented from corals that have been raised in captivity for at least 3 or 4 generations. They are not fragmented from wild harvested corals; which makes them hardier than their wild counterparts. Being fully encrusted, it enables them to ship better with less stress when compared to newly fragmented corals.
