RF Christmas Mirabilis 3cm Frag
Acropora millepora is a highly prized SPS coral known for its dense, bushy branching growth and exceptional coloration. Depending on the individual morph, colonies can display vivid combinations of red, orange, pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple, often with contrasting or fluorescent branch tips.
Under strong blue reef lighting, A. millepora can develop intense fluorescence and dramatic color contrast. As the colony matures, its compact branches create excellent structure and movement in an SPS-focused reef aquarium.

The Christmas Mirabilis frag arrived healthy and vibrant. After a few weeks under strong blue lighting, the coloration became very vivid with clear fluorescence. It’s a great addition to my SPS tank and adds a lot of visual interest.

The coral has developed intense blue and purple tips under my reef lights. It’s one of the most colorful frags I’ve added to my tank. I’m very satisfied with the performance and appearance.

It’s a nice piece, but I had to adjust the lighting slowly. The initial color was muted, but after a week of gradual acclimation, it improved significantly.
