Sorry about the stupid title ;) Recently, well for a while now, i've had the milli bug. Tons of color combinations, long swaying polyps, typically fast growth... What's not to like?

So I've slowly been collecting a few. So far I have the Tyree Copper and Tropical Punch from WT. A Bubblegum from battle and a few unknowns. But I've been thinking... after researching the web and the tons of online vendors and reef central millepora threads, it's hard to find pictures of many of the milleporas that are apparently popular.

So why not have a thread showcasing this acropora species WITH trade names if they have them and perhaps sources. No namers are fine too. But overall it would be nice to make a thread with a comprehensive list of available milli's WITH pictures. Prostratas are fine too :) I'm particularly interested in seeing some pics of the Rouge Milli, Tricolor Prostrata, Diablo Milli, and some nice blue millepora. The Palmers and Thunderstorm are a few I can think of off hand.

Also, let's try to not only add vendor pics, but also frag pics and personal tank shots :P

I'll start... I've got a pretty long list myself but will post just a couple:

Rouge Milli (only pic I can find)

Agree that mille's are very cool, I've currently got a bug for them also. Speaking of which, I'll take three of those rainbows from above!!! ;)

My only contribution isn't a fancy or collectors name edition, just a bali mariculture colony but in a rare yellow color and with great cottony looking PE:

Here was my nicest mill last july. Since then the tank has seen explosive growth & without room to move it, if suffered from shading & I finally lost it due to some bad chems & a harsh alk swing. I am however nearing completion of a bas,ment reno with a 225 gal setup going in. Which will have several milli's in it. anyway here was the last pic of it...:(

that mille does look amazing but be carefull because mille's are known colour changers when they get into aquaria long term. Before buying a high price frag of that bad boy I would want to see it growing and colourful in captive aquaria first IMO.
 
Definitely. I've been waiting to see some successful frags of this one before I try to get it. I know of one guy on rc that has a frag that has retained its color last time i checked.

Sweet milli's everyone!
 
This was just a gray maricultured piece when I bought it.

Great thread. This is the first thread in a quirte while that made me want to go buy a new coral.

I also have another small milli but I dont have a pic of it, just another green morph nothing special.
 
Great pics everyone! Gotta love the milli's... And if you've ever looked through milli threads, the most awesome piece you see either isn't named or the name isn't in the post. So it's great to have both pics and names or no namers in this thread. And it's great to see REAL ppl's milli's. Not just vendors pics :) Keep em coming!!
