this milli showed up about three years ago here at my lfs and they called it watermellon milli. no other tags in front. for a while several local reef club members including me had them.over time everyone lost theres, but not before a lot of them grew into nice colonys. they were just as bright as the first pic. unfortuanatly, i lost my colony about a year ago except a frag of it. that frag encrusted the plug and then stayed like that for about 9 months. then for no reason while everything eles is growing it started to slowly fade away. it took a few weeks, but i thought i should just leave it be.i too would love anouther frag.

I have both red planet and tiera de fuego. Completely different acros..
But that watermelon mille, now that I looked again, is alot different than the fuego..
I only have red planet so then... I'm missing del fuego hehe....
yeah... I still can't think or find something that resembles this watermelon mille

call me crazy... but does that look more like a monti than a mille? Everything about that looks like a monti to me.

I'm not sure I think if not mille some type of acro but....it doesn't look like a monti to me it's just a small frag..but if it's a monti I still want it hehe

Ya millie typically have two polyp types, the normal shaped ones and then the long stringy one.

Regardless it's an awesome piece.

maybe it could be bc it's not opened fully ... but yeah regardless it's a smokin piece

i have plenty of the rommels watermellon i will go check the frags to see if they match

I think it's not the same but anyways post some pics! let's see them:tongue:

If you want a mille that will blow any other out of the water, take a look a Tyree Rouge Mille...

NOT A GOOD PIC...

I had this coral from reef exotics a while back, but have since lost it. It is a beautiful piece, and I hope to order another from them soon. Surprised to see not many people have this. Good luck in your search.

Your crazy :wink:...if that was a monti it would be the hottest monti out...all acros put down an encrusting base like that, and that's where you see most of the impressive base color like this one.

These people are great to deal with, because of the storm we had to delay the shipping but since I was a new customer he hooked me up. I highly recommend doing business with them.
