I've seen some beautiful colonies of Millepora dichotoma in dive footage from the Red Sea, but I haven't been able to turn up anything about that species being kept (except for one post on a different forum from decades ago). I understand they have quite a sting.

Photo for reference is just a screenshot of a Google image result - not my photo.

Anybody keeping these or know of anyone keeping them?
 
I have a couple small colonies of fire coral that came in on some live rock. Its a slow grower for me but it doing great. I've brushed up against it several and never felt any sting but maybe Im lucky.
