I just purchased this Acupora but I forgot the specific name. She's not fully out because I just put her in a couple of hours ago. You can see that white hairy stuff coming out of the Acupora but like I said she's not fully out. Here's a picture.
ID! Acupora!

I believe its an Acropora millepora. People just call them millis for short :) The white "hairy" stuff are polyps
Yeah millis are pretty cool! Are you calling them acuporas as a joke or did someone tell you thats what they are called lol?
Haha dont be sorry, i kind of like that name. Sounds like what someone with a deep southern accent might call it
Nice!
This is how it will look like.
Not sure what kind of Milli you got but I see some red/purple in it.
do you have other SPS in your tank or is this the first kind?

In my experience def not the easiest acro to grow/ color looks like its got alot of potential good luck with it!!
I've had better luck with birdsnests stylos and stags then millis : )
They r my fav by far but I never had too much luck with them

It looks to be more like a Acropora prostrata than A. millepora. A. prostrata is very similar to A. millepora with the exception of the way the branches grow out. A. prostrata will have a cluster of long branches making a table, and A. millepora will be a table made of short stumpy branches. Both do well with the same care requirements.
