So I have both the palmers blue mille and the Silverbullet prostrata in my tank and as they grow out... they are looking a whole lot alike. Anybody else have both?

I'm glad someone resurrected this thread. I have a true Palmer's blue mille, one that's close to it and a blue prostrata that looks almost identical to the PBM, in terms of color. Glad that it's similar to the Silverbullet one cuz the green polyps on the prostrata are a bit lighter than the PBM.

putting the two frags together would give better stance to the theory that they are the same. if they don't kill each other, probably 99% same renamed coral. Especially being that one is supposed to be a milli and other prostrata, they shouldn't grow together if they are different species.

Heard once that Sapphire was the same too. Put me down on the list that says that all three are different.

Resurrection from the grave! Nice! I actually moved along both colonies already so I can’t even test any theories anymore.

I was looking to get a Sulver Bullet frag and found this. Good looking pieces!!!

If you haven’t found one yet, hit up River City Aquatics in Austin. I sold them my colony. I bet you could get them to ship to you.
