Sunset Mille

About this coral

Sunset Mille is an SPS coral typically sold within the Acropora millepora group, valued for its branching growth and reef-display presence. In a home aquarium, it’s used to build and diversify established reef rockscapes, where it can receive strong light and consistent water movement. As with many named coral varieties, “Sunset Mille” may refer to a seller’s named morph rather than a fully distinct species, so care guidance below focuses on general Acropora group requirements and stable SPS conditions.

Features:

• Branching SPS coral that adds height and structure to reef aquascapes
• Best suited to strong lighting to support photosynthesis typical of SPS corals
• High, turbulent flow helps keep debris off the coral and supports healthy growth habits
• Performs best when aquarium conditions remain stable over time, which is important for sensitive SPS livestock
• Often placed on established rock where it can attach and grow into the available space
• A good choice for hobbyists building toward a mature mixed SPS display with reliable water quality

Specifications:

• Care level (general): Intermediate (SPS; sensitive to instability)
• Lighting (general): Strong reef lighting
• Water flow (general): High flow with good, turbulent circulation
• Placement (general): Secure on live rock in a stable location within the high-light, high-flow zone
• Temperature (general): Approximately 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity (general): Reef salinity around 1.020–1.026 SG
• pH (general): About 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity (general): Roughly 7–11 dKH
• Calcium (general): About 350–500 ppm
• Magnesium (general): About 1,200–1,400 ppm
