haha def not a rouge mille bro. Its an acropora abrotanoides which are notoriously difficult to keep happy and well colored. I wouldnt waste any space on one TBH.

I have had it a few years.It was a drab maricultured piece from Bali.I believe they need intense light (800 par range or more) and strong-skin peeling random flow to look there best.Mine colored up on the second move which put it at the brightest and highest flow spot in the tank.Really easy to keep now that its over the NSW/Natural sun light metabolic switch and all the frags that it has given have been hardy(great mortality rate) as any aquacultured piece Just another nicely colored fat branched acro IMO and no more challenging then any wild/Maricultured acro.
