The vendor picture was after blasting it with a turkey baster. LOLI'm going to sound like a hater in this thread but..........when fiji was open that was called aropora papillare. Here is a vendor picture and then what I got.
It's nice enough I guess but the brown bushy polyps killed it's looks and the colors were never intense.
There's a chance some nice two tone millis will show up but vendors and wholesalers will hoard them, hack 'em up and charge $300 and up for 1/2" nubs.
That's still an awesome stag though.
Finally I can frag and sell my Fiji Holy Grail Aiptasias! $175/frag shipped — anyone interested?

Also the pic was over saturated in photoshop. The colors even when the brown polyps weren't covering it were dull. Even heavy blue leds couldn't help it.
That acro never got popular due to mainly the brown polyps were so dense and fluffy that it looked like a all brown acro.

My friend told me the same on his recent visit to Eye Catching Corals.
They had some nice green A humilis which were gone from the hobby. No one is going to care except some old school reefers like me who would probably buy one of those colonies if I come across a healthy one.
They're impossible to frag without destroying the coral and they don't grow fast.

If I remember right, Fiji is where the Montipora eating nudibranch were coming from. They grew encrusting monti over a base that had an extension sticking up from the middle. Purple haze was one I recall.
Has anyone seen Montipora?
