My new favorite Millipora

[Mrtakeoff53]

Hey fellow Reefers! I went to a Grand Opening of a coral shop here in the Florida Panhandle that just opened to the public. I’ve been wanting to get into Millipora coral since selling off my birdsnest colonies. This place had some beautiful Millipora and I found my new favorite! It’s the darker green one with the orange tips on the left of the picture!

Anyone know what it is? I figured if it had a name, you guys would know.

I’ve had it for about 3 days and tonight I noticed a white ring around the base. It looks bigger and may be growing already. I just hope it’s not tissue necrosis. Too soon to tell. Fingers crossed for growing!

You'd have to ask the LFS otherwise it's just a no name Acropora Millepora. Names are about lineage, so just saying it looks like a this or that, doesn't provide the lineage. If you give away pieces in the future, it's no problem, but if you sell it as a named piece because it looks like a named piece, that would be deceptive.

@SawCJack00 you gave me a good idea! Barring an official name, I shall name it the M53 Deception Millipora! The R2R community rocks! Thanks!
