Milli love hate need info

[zach_discus]

hello all, so one of my favorite SPS is millipora, but they don’t tend to love me. What am I missing, the few that I have had tend to do really well for a month or so. Than they always tend to get a spot where they rtn and are got within a day.
I’ve tried high light/low light, high flow/low flow and just can’t seem to make them happy?

What’s your recommendation or experience?
Thanks
Zach

Millepora can be hard, but not impossible or anything, under LED. If you are using LED, then you might need to be on the money with everything else. There are many accounts of people losing their millepora when they switched their lighting to LED... again, not everybody, but enough to see a pattern. Dr. Joshi has written about this.

I don't find millepora to be any harder than other acros like tenuis, deepwaters, nana, austera, aculeus, etc, but all of these are harder than youngei or most other stags. Spath and prostata are a bit harder.
