Damn I'm glad you clarified that. I was having a serious case of monti-envy. Idaho grape?

Not sure if its Idaho grape or not. I got as a frag from a local hobbyist. I just call it purple. Is there a way to tell?

The texture of the surface looks a lot to me like the Idaho grape I have. It has more striations in it and is much more "lumpy" than regular monti capricornis. Much thicker plate also. Can be a fast grower, as you have proven. Apparently it's an M. undata specie

My tabling milli over the course of a year.
2/08
12/08
When I moved it to another tank --- had been breaking off the tips each time I cleaned the front glass, so it has to move.
I hate to say that my colony is no longer.
I redid the tank over the weekend, and I had noticed a section of it had R/STNed, so I trimmed that section off -- That was Sunday night. Got home from work on Monday night and was hit with that awful dead/dying coral smell. Went upstairs and 95% of it was gone.
I have a feeling what happened, I had moved a Haddoni anemone into that tank -- was in a tupperware. (( was going to sell it, but that didn't happen )). So I had the powerheads turned off for a week. Then when I was redoing the tank the coral was in a rubbermaid container -- think the water got to cold. Believe both of those things were just too much for it.

Present, and 35 frags + made of it.
Its weird because I bought it from a guy who's colony was branching, and the guys I give frags to, have branching...but this one, doesnt get that kind of growth pattern. So it's grown from 1/2" to 6" across.

David- it sure looks like you got some excellent growth out of that pink millepora! Was the frag aquacultured? How did you get such good growth? Does this piece build quickly or is it parameter stability or whaaa? :inlove: Sorry for all the qw.
I got it from a local hobbyist . It branched as it added the base. I have a picture from just a month ago. The growth rate is incredible. The green blob to the right of it was the same sized frag , and has done almost nothing except encrust, its just starting to branch now.

Its completely gone? Not even a bit for it to grow back from?
That really bites. Hopefully it doesnt effect anything else in the tank.

Here's a couple I have handy as "early shots". You also see a progression from my early shots to my later shots of how my skills with a camera improved, learning how to white balance, hold the camera steadier, and taking top-down shots. Being as most all of my corals started as frags, I really wish I kept better documentation of them, but I did find these.
Both of these I roughly put the time frame on as May 01, 2007
Top is the Tyree Bali Tricolor acro, bottom is known around these parts as "Mr. Ugly's Red Prostrada" (MURP)
Tanks changed, lighting change, flow patterns changed for these next shots, and this made all the difference in the word as far as growth, just remember this next sequence is only about 1 year worth of growth. Oh yeah my picture skills changed
The MURP is obviously visible in the middle, the Bali Tricolor you can see peeking just below the right most branches on the MURP right above the Blue Tort. January 2009
The Bali tricolor is now more pronounced as the Tort got removed, MURP is following flow October 2009
MURP is now growing on the tort to the left, and is a beast, tricolor while nice in size I'm going to hope MURP doesn't table in all directions and cover that one too. February 2010
So there you have it, a couple coral growth, most of it was over the last year, but as husbandry skills change, you get wiser, your corals will let you know you're doing something right.
