General info about Sanjay Milka Stylo
In general, corals coming from the genus Stylophora usually has a branching type of coral growth. Depending on the species, their finger-like branches are highly variable when it comes to length and width. Their colony usually forms a dome with a depression at the middle which looks similar to a bird's nest.
For the Sanjay Milka Stylo, they are predominatly colored brown with violet tentacles. This are the water parameters for cultivating Sanjay Milka Stylo:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L (8 - 11 dKh)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 10
- Temperature: 74° - 83° F (23° - 28° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
Sanjay Milka Stylo Diet & Nutrition
Majority of the nourishment of the Sanjay Milka Stylo comes from the photosynthetic activity of the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. On top of this, we recommend you still do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp. They also have the ability to absrob nutrients in the water. So, adding dissolved nutrients is also important.
Fragging / Propagating Sanjay Milka Stylo
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Sanjay Milka Stylo. They must be set on the upper portion of the tank.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Sanjay Milka Stylo
The Sanjay Milka Stylo requires moderate lighting and strong water flow. However, if your specimen is a newly acquired thin branch, DO NOT expose them to strong water flow. Otherwise, they will not adopt to their new environment and will not grow.

How to Acclimate Sanjay Milka Stylo
Sanjay Milka Stylo are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
