Snipersps Bubblegum Millepora

Bought this as snipersps mille. Does it look like to people?

No that doesn’t look like snipers bubblegum. It looks like some variant of a sunset milli.

My LFS sold it as that, and they are supplied by a local grower who's been selling as that.

Here is a true Snipers Bubblegum. I have not seen anyone that actually has it in a good 4-5 years. Most are fakes. One of the distinct aspects is the blue radial coralites.

They are selling the wrong coral.

Are you sure it’s a fake ? Is it maybe just stressed ??

i bought it a few months back from Ali’s amazing aquarium (a well-known local store ) .He purchased it from sps sniper since he is local to us .

here’s what mine looks like under blues. Unfortunately it’s none growing as fast as my other coral . Not sure if it’s because Ali had it under halides and I run LED.

I'm not sure, the store said they got it from a trusted grower who got it from a close friend. This pic was when I first got it a month ago. Much more PE but there is almost no red, color is totally off from other pics.
