In my experience millepora are pretty easy as acros go. Follow the above suggestions regarding slow acclimation to lighting. Preferred lighting is particular to the individual coral. However with slow acclimation they will adjust to very strong light. Then I would say brisk but indirect flow. You want the polyps to "Dance" back and forth. Too much flow or light shock can contribute to poor polyp extension.
