Sunset Mille Colony

About this coral

Sunset Mille Colony is an Acropora-style SPS coral colony for reef aquariums. In practice, it’s used as a centerpiece or fast-growing-looking branching coral within stable, high-energy SPS systems, where its tissue can maintain color and form under strong light and consistent water chemistry. Because “Sunset Mille” is commonly used as a named variety for Acropora, this listing supports group-level SPS/Acropora care rather than promising morph-specific traits.

Features:

• SPS coral typically benefits from strong lighting to support photosynthesis
• High, turbulent water flow helps keep tissue clear and encourages healthy growth
• Best kept in an established tank with stable conditions rather than frequent swings
• Use secure placement in the rockwork so the colony is not knocked over or shaded
• Requires consistent target ranges for alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium to help support skeletal formation
• An ideal choice for reef keepers building a mixed SPS display that prioritizes parameter stability

Specifications:

• Care level (group guidance): Advanced (SPS/Acropora) — best for established reef systems

• Temperature (general guidance): About 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity (general guidance): About 1.025–1.026 SG
• pH (general guidance): About 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity (general guidance): About 7–11 dKH
• Calcium (general guidance): About 400–480 ppm
• Magnesium (general guidance): About 1250–1350 ppm
