I want to collect acropora millepora

[leftcoastreefer]

I have a serious fascination with acropora millepora. I am not very familiar with the more exotic species of milli's. could you guys please least some that i should be looking for.

Right now my collection consist of:

Rose millie
red planet
green milli
yellow milli
blue milli

i am also very interested in collecting sps with big polyps. i recently aquired an abrotonoides adn an albrolhensis, both with quite large polyps.

Go check out Atlants Aquarium,they have a bunch of Millipora.

Also find the Snow Cone Prostrata,not really a millirpora,but close enought,also look at Exotic Frags site for milliporas.

Thank you for the suggestion. I dont ever look at online vendors, but i think i will give ATL a try. There prices are not that bad. Looking at hot pink prostrata and superman milli.

Is red planet a milli?

to be honest, i dont think so, sorry. i just see it listed as acropora sp. , no milli

 

[clowns101]

I think it is.

I honestly cant tell the difference. this weekend i got to see a red planet and a rose milli colony next to each other at a public aquarium. Both colonies were a good 10"-12" in diameter and looked almost identical, with slight color variations.

I think it is.

RP will not look like what ORA says it does if it is in higher ligt,it will have a deeper red coloration to it and not the red and green coloration we all strive for.Lower lighting is the key to this coral like it is with Pink Lemonade.
