ASD hot Barbie Mille

About this coral

ASD hot Barbie Mille is an SPS coral sold under the shop name “ASD hot Barbie Mille,” offered as an Acropora-type (millepora-group) reef coral for display in a mature saltwater aquarium. In practice, this kind of coral is used to add bright, branching/mini-branching structure and the typical SPS “growth form” associated with Acropora-kept reef tanks. Because coral color morphs are often varieties rather than distinct species, this listing is best approached with general Acropora/millepora-group care: maintain strong light, strong water movement, and very stable water chemistry for long-term health and growth.

Features:

• Acropora-type SPS generally require strong lighting to support photosynthesis
• High flow helps deliver oxygen and remove wastes around the coral’s tissue
• Stable water parameters are important for SPS; sudden swings can stress or damage tissue
• Best used as a reef focal piece in an SPS setup with appropriate rockwork and gentle, consistent circulation
• Placement in the tank’s brighter, more turbulent zones often matches how Acropora commonly performs
• Routine tank stability and good husbandry support continued health of SPS corals

Specifications:

• Care level: Advanced (SPS/Acropora-type) — requires stable parameters
• Lighting: Strong reef lighting (SPS-appropriate)
• Water flow: High flow / strong, turbulent circulation
• Placement: SPS rock placement where light and flow are consistent and direct
• Water stability (general): Maintain stable conditions; avoid rapid changes
• Temperature (general reef SPS range): About 24–26°C
• Salinity (general reef range): ~35 ppt
• pH (general reef range): ~8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity (general reef range): ~7–9 dKH
• Calcium (general reef range): ~400–450 ppm
• Magnesium (general reef range): ~1250–1350 ppm
• Diet: Primarily photosynthetic; benefits from waterborne nutrients/plankton in reef systems
