ASD Rainbow Millipora Care Guide – Acro With Attitude
The ASD Rainbow Millipora is a high-end Acropora prized for its intense rainbow coloration—with vibrant shades of red, pink, green, purple, and even blue under strong lighting. Known for its fast growth and fuzzy polyps, this acro thrives in high-energy SPS systems.
Care Highlights:
💡 Lighting: High PAR (300–450) — strong LED, T5, or halide lighting to maintain color
🌊 Flow: Strong, turbulent flow to prevent detritus buildup and keep polyps extended
📍 Placement: Mid to upper rockwork — give it plenty of space and light
🍽️ Feeding: Mostly photosynthetic, but may benefit from amino acids or light broadcast feeding for enhanced growth and color
🧪 Parameters (keep stable):
Temp: 75–78°F
Salinity: 1.025
dKH: 8–9
Calcium: 420–460 ppm
Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrates: 1–10 ppm
Phosphates: 0.01–0.05 ppm
Pro Tips:
Color fades if nutrients are too low or light intensity is reduced
Great candidate for frag racks or high-light zones in SPS tanks
Needs stable alkalinity and good nutrient export
Care Level: Advanced – Best suited for mature, stable reef systems
