Stylophora Milka (Stylophora pistillata)
Stylophora Milka is a popular SPS coral known for its vibrant purple color and densely branching growth habit. Under good conditions, it grows quickly and forms an impressive, bushy colony. The good polyp extension gives the coral a lively and soft appearance.
Stylophora Milka thrives in stable conditions, bright lighting, and strong, variable flow. It is best suited for a mature reef aquarium where water parameters remain consistent.
