Bought this from my lfs after they received a huge shipment of acro colonies all of which were maricultured.
Under blues or white lights, the colors that it shows are pink, purple, teal, and blue. I’ve been looking up milleporas everywhere and can’t seem to id this one.

What ID are you looking for? It's Acropora millepora. If you're looking for a trade name like Ultra Magnificent Unicorn Urine, it won't have one since it is a maricultured piece and has no lineage.
 
Ive had a maricultured colony come in like that and it ended up turning a greyish silver color and lost its rainbow coloring under LED lighting. Could stay under halides, update us as time goes by though!

You win the internet today! Bahahaha
 
Are you willing to ship?
I would be okay with shipping but I would honestly wait to see how the colors come out after sitting under leds for a while. I’ll keep it updated. The polyps are full and they’re a seafoam green color.

I'm sorry that was my lame attempt at humor :face-with-hand-over-mouth:. Beautiful piece. It is amazing how these can change color.
 
1) it’s a really really nice piece
2) let’s shake up everyone even more lol. Do you mind sharing how much this unicorn urine colony cost ?
 
Maybe send a couple pieces to sit under some halides..(ehh hum) I'll pay for a slice...
