Growth of a ORA Nathans Green Millepora

[goreefer]

Almost a year ago I stopped in a reef store in Herndon Va and spotted this frag of a ORA Nathans Green Millepora. I was flying home the next morning and decided that it would be a nice addition to my tank.

As time went along it has continued to grow very well, thius is about 4 months ago:

And this is it last week:

I also have three other frags in another tank that are also going well.
About the only coral in my tank that grows faster is my Green Digitata, but that thing is a beast!

Hmmm... Carefull Garry...

I know, it keeps getting to the time when I get that larger tank that I have wanted ever since I sold my 90...

 

[ct_vol]

Nah, you're just likely to **** me off from showing all these rediculous growth pics... lol


I'm all about you getting a larger tank though...

 

[goreefer]

And they say that T5's won't grow anything...

 

[ct_vol]

I did see less growth under t5's than when I had MH's... Hmmm, now I begin to think about your tank with MH's... lol

I would buy a frag if you are intersted...Loosing all my zoos, but not my sps, weird

If you want a frag I can bring you one tomorrow if you are going to the meeting.

I'll trade you for a photometer... :lolspin:

I've seen that coral several times and IMO it looks very similar to the good ole Evil Mel's green mille:

Now that's some growth!
How old is that colony?

 

[fishdoc11]

That's an old colony I got rid of before I moved to Knoxville that was probably three years out of being a frag. It had already had a lot of the right side taken off. Some mille's will really take off when they get beyond the small colony stage....which is where yours is just getting past...and fixing to REALLY grow most likely
