oh I didnt know that adam had this coral. I'll have to ask about it. If you don't mind my asking (perhaps PM if you don't feel comfortable posting it here) what was the damage for a frag of this? I know what it went for years ago, but no idea what to expect currently.

Guys dont flame for making this post. :) And I'll say from the start that I am not claiming that I have the WWC SWOTR (I live in the UK so impossible haha), but what I have matches the Reeffarmers description: The blue and purple branch tips, red corallites and green base pigments are very visible.

Here is the link and photo from Reeffarmers:

Here is my coral taken under full daylight of a mixture of T5 and LED:

The tips are blue with purple, red corallites, a green base and there are white polyps as well as the darker polyps. Under more blue light it looks awesome and looks SO MUCH like the SWOTR. :D

I bought it thinking its a blue Millepora and after a few weeks it started to colour up with purple, strong blue and a green base can easily be seen if I blow the polyps in with the turkey baster. Its growing nicely right under my ATI T5's and looks happy.

Nice piece Sahin, very similar. I love when millis have that green base. My SWOTR frag is growing at a snails pace.

I second both comments. That's a great looking mille and rivals the SOTR for sure if it's not the same thing. How fast does it grow? My tiny nub hasn't done a thing in 6 months. Hah!

Oh, also, how much flow do these things like? Anyone know?

Sahin that is a nice piece

Thanks for the comments. :) It is a like version of the WWC SWOTR so I'm very happy. Will try and take a photo under more blue light next time to compare better to the WWC version. :)

I'm loving this piece for sure. One of my favorite in the tank now. Mine isnt a fast grower. I would rate it slow-med. I have it 6 inches under the waterline, so it is being blasted by the ATI LED Powermodule. As for flow it is getting med-high flow. I have my MP10 on pulse mode, so the polyps rock side to side and then a Tunze 6095 adds additional flow.

Awesome looking piece. So nice and fuzzy.
