Very bleached SPS. Any hope?

[ojonas81]

Got this frag from my LFS for free a couple of weeks ago. I know it is very bleached but is there hope to get it back? Also, anyone who knows the ID?

 

[Whisperer]

Yes. Millipora.

Thanks!

What should I do as extra care of it to make sure it will recover quickly?

Best you can do is let it alone and wait.
The more you touch it and move it, the more stressed out it will get.
What color was it supposedly to begin with? Looks yellow to me.

Are the polyps extending?

 

[ojonas81]

Don't know the original color and neither does my LFS. Came to them all white. It has a slight yellow/orange tint now though. Can see small polyps but nothing major. Definitely not as bushy as a Millie normally is.

leave it alone, it should make a comeback

It will recover it will just take some time.I bought a 1/2 dozen totally white sps colonies that had spent a month with no light.They spent months coloring up on the bottom.Everyone made it and are happy and growing to this day.I consider most milli's almost bullet proof.
