Copps Gold Millepora - Photos Anyone?

Wow, very impressive! My frag from 2 years ago is now like two frags lol. This particular coral was stagnant for a long time.

Yeah, I have realized with millepora coral in some tanks it grows like crazy and in some it will stay stagnant or not grow. Something to do with water chemistry. I had two tanks in the past where I would get very poor growth from millepora coral and in my current tank it flourishes. My tank maintenance practices have been same over the last 10 years across 4 tanks.

I've got one coming soon. All of those look green or brown to me. Are they actually gold/yellow?

For those who have good color, do you have them high or low mounted? Direct or indirect flow?

almost all corals will change color slightly based on your lighting and nutrients/water chemistry. In my case the the coral is placed high about 12" from my Radions in a high flow area.

Resurrecting an old thread. Here’s mine. Not sure if this is peak coloration but it’s in 300 PAR and getting some yellow but really it’s more green / dark brown IRL. Lights at 20K spectrum.
