Does anyone have any good "leads" names to help in the ID search of this guy. Red milli with a sumwhat green/blue polyp extension look. Closed pic, close up, open polyps pic

I don't think it's millepora. It looks more like prostata.

If you are looking for a show name, the Acro would have to come with a show name (lineage). Other wise it's just a red Acropora cf. prostata IMO.

I am still not sure how to tell the difference between mille and prostrata. I have read that they grow differently but wouldn't that depend on flow and lighting? Yours looks like a standard blue millepora to me but that my just be the photo.
For true coral id, I think a biologist has to look at it under a microscope, therefore, we as hobbyists tend to throw these terms around by what we observe visually. Not true scientific identification processes.

Bubblegum milli?

That's funny had a buddy say "well not sure but it looks like colors that would get a bubblegum name". Ya in google reps a few of the blue milles just weird cause yould think a blue mille would be blue base. Ya the prostata/mille are hard to tell apart. You would think red planet could be a millie at first glance.
