Fire coral (Millepora)

Anyone keeping this?

I used to see it pop up in shops way back in the day. A local LFS had a large colony of it. I found it very interesting, a lot of subtle beauty in that coral. Beware the sting though.

I’d be interested in a frag if it’s out there.

Easy to keep, grows fast.

This is my colony:
