Is this a millepora?

[mattseattle]

I've had this coral for about 6 - 8 months and when I got it as a frag I forgot to write down what it was. I think I recall it being a millepora but I am not 100% sure.

If anyone could identify it for me I would appreciate it.

looks like millepora. I always confuse it with prostrata. a closer pic of the coralites would help

ok, here is a closer picture of it....

also, here is a picture of the original frag. about 8 months ago.....amazing to look back at the original picture of it. not the best picture but you get the idea.

Sure looks like a milli to me -postrata tends to be much thinner branched, almost pencil thin.

Nice coral, BTW.

thanks for all the info and compliments. it's definitely one of my favorite pieces.

Nice Matt, I had a very similar coral. Looks like milli to me, but that dosn't mean much. I lost mine, it just didn't make it thru the bad times. I am planning to get some more corals soon, and milli's are on the list

hey Tom - well if you need a frag let me know. Looks like it's getting close to time to thin mine out.

Since I added my calcium reactor this thing has really taken off.....I swear it grows an inch over night some nights.

Hey Matt, heck ya I would take a piece, by the time I get back it will really need fragging!

Well I'll be in touch once I know you are back in the States.
