Northstar Prostrata

[rutz81]

I recently picked up a frag of a Northstar Prostrata(pink with blue tips) It is pretty brown at the moment, but, I was wondering if anyone had any all grown up and colored up so I can see what I can expect.

TIA,
Dave

I too have never heard of it. Maybe someone just threw a name on it to get more value.

No, thats the problem. When I google it, the only name that comes up that I recognize is Kip(former TOTM), and rarefrags.com also has a pink with blue-tip prostrata.

 

[ReefRockerLive]

Do you have a pic?

 

[rutz81]

[ReefRockerLive]

Here's mine for now:

Is it the one named RainMillie in Kip's TOTM?

That is what I thought it was, too...

the northstar prostrata (as it was traded to me) seems to be more of a mille than a prostrata

the rainbow mille (again, as it was traded to me) ... is just a nice two tone pink/blue mille

thanks for clarifying kip

 

[Kip]

looked thru pics... for some dumb reason... i dont have any good shots of my "northstar" (which was the name of an old store, i think.... Northstar Corals)

maybe i can get a shot of the current colony sometime

under good conditions it is a very light bubble gum pink with sky blue tips (for me at least)

Kips right. Northstar was an online coral etailer. They closed up years ago.

Kip if you could get a pic of the Northstar that would be cool. I was out buying frags on a road trip 6 month ago and two different reefkeepers sold me a "ORA Scripps Millie".

One was the Scripps but the other didn't look the same. The other one sounds alot like the Northstar. The fact that it was tank raised and very colorful led me to guess that it probably had a name that got lost along the way.

shwweeeeet!

Kip: so, the pic I posted of yours is not the Northstar, it is the Rainbow?
