What is TIA Ruby Red Millepora?
TIA Ruby Red Millepora is an SPS Acropora millepora with a deep ruby-red base and bright, glowing polyps that give it a soft, fuzzy look under actinic lighting. The contrast between the rich red branches and lighter polyp tips creates a warm, fiery appearance, and the piece shows excellent polyp extension with strong, healthy growth.

General SPS husbandry (not colony-specific): the team has not published measured parameters for this colony. The ranges below are standard Acropora targets, not values measured on this piece — PAR 250–400 under blue-heavy reef lighting · 76–79 °F · salinity 1.025–1.026 · alkalinity 8–9 dKH · calcium 400–450 ppm · magnesium 1300–1400 ppm. Stable parameters matter more than exact numbers.
Buying a Ruby Red Millepora frag
Every piece is cut to order from the mother colony. After we cut your frag, we send you a video of it, and we recommend allowing about 14 days of heal time before expecting full recovery. Every order is covered by TIA's 3-day live-arrival guarantee, and TIA has grown and named collector corals since 2008.
