The picture below I got from my LFS about 4 months ago (it was just 1 stalk about an inch tall) and they had no idea what it was. Now it is about 4" tall and very bushy. If anyone knows what this is, let me know.

Bushy acros. Most millepora are bushy in the right environment. Shortcakes can get bushy too when happy. I noticed once I started to feed my acros blended oysters/scallop/mussels/krill/mysis the polyp extension improved but make sure to keep an eye on nutrient levels.

@Reefer93105 Are these all your colonies, if so do you ever sell frags.

My tank is fairly young. Only had acros in it for a couple months. Here are some of my bushier ones.
This one is a no namer. I call it Chewbacca, but it's likely just a run of the mill rainbow Millie. You can't tell though. The polyps are so dense and furry you cannot see its skeleton at all. If I hit it with the turkey Baster and it sucks its polyps in, it's neon pink with neon green ends and encrust border. Very pretty. Can't ever see it though. Fastest grower in the tank. Two months ago started with a single 1" nub fresh cut and glue. It's doubled in height and sprouted all these branches in that time span.
Second is an ASD Smurfs Blue Millie. Bright blue base, but polyps are so fuzzy its hidden. The pic online had no PE, the PE in the tank is so much so it's less attractive, but healthy and happy is top importance to me
Last is my smallest but favorite frag in the tank. It's the fuzziest non-Millie acro I've got (or even seen based on its mother colony. Bought as a maricultures colony from the lfs. Possibly and acropora Plana maybe? 2 months and zero growth. Not one millimeter. But the color and PE are terrific. Bright teal base and glowing purple tips
