I think people call this a sunset millepora.

Sunsets are orange and green with the coralites and tips being orange and the polyps and base color being silverish green. This looks more pink and blue which would be a bubble gum wouldn't it?

This is the origional sunset milli registered with the national coral regristry.

Yap, think agreed with you evsalty. It should be bubble gum not sunset. Coz I had one with green hairy polys and orange tip. This one more to pink and gray/brown polyps.

Pic shows my sunset milli, with hairy polyps covering the orange coralites think due to coral placement.

Sorry for the poor hp pic.

Thanks dude for the nice word, actually the 2nd quary just been burn out at high lighting (250W blv 14Kk) 3inches near the surface for a month. It now reveal the actual color, but could not id it. Some say millie and some say prostata. Any idea?

As far as I know prostrata is a type of milli but I have no idea what makes one different then the other. I used to think it was thickness and growth pattern but lately I have been seeing prostrata's for sell that are much thicker and have different growth patterns then mine. Looking at the coralite structures on yours, they look like the ones on my pink prostrata. They look like they come out farther then regular milli's do. Perhaps that is the determining factor. I am by far not an expert though and that is just a guess.
