Mine is placed in the lower 1/3 of a 93g. cube under a 8 bulb T5 Powermodule with medium flow from a mp40.

Nice! Any more?

Where is this acro from? I've heard of it before I'm just not sure of the origin. Is it from Vivid?

Looks like it has two-tone polyps. Very cool.

Logzor - Our buddy in Dayton OH has one! I believe his came from Rocky Mountain Frags

Here is an older pic of my colony and some frags. This was when I had them under two 120w LED fixtures about 12" down. Recently upgraded to bigger tank and switched back to T5 fixture. And I also got mine from Rockymountainfrags.com

The diablo looks amazing in person...not a fast grower like most other millepora corals.

Here is my Diablo, the picture doesn't do it justice. It one of my fav's though.

Trevor40 · Jul 23, 2012

The previous pics are SO SICK! I'm hoping mine colors up like that!! I got mine from someone who got it from RockyMountainFRags.
Im lucky enough to live close to RMF and see all the mother colonies in person! Makes my wallet quiver. haha

Sweet milli, love the reda nd pink!

slojmn · Jul 24, 2012

I absolutely LOVE this milli. Its hard to tell in this picture but the polyps are turquoise. I also received mine from Jared at Rocky Mountain Frags. In my tank is literally glows an incredible deep pink. This coral has grown up to look just like Jared's photo on his site!!!

I've never really had the turquoise polyps. What kind of lighting do you have yours under?

Awesome stuff

nice milli

This Millipora Originally comes from Jared at RMF. I havent seen any of them out there from any other distributors. I have a mother Colony that I fragged for Trevor40 and a couple other locals here. Besides that I dont know where else you can get it???? Here is a pic of a branch I fragged off.. Its lived under ati t5 bulbs since it was a little baby frag. Throw this thing under 20k Radiums like Jared at RockyMountainFrags it just explodes with the coolest pink and turquoise/green polyps I have ever seen in any coral IMO and it gets this Awesome Green Base.

Under T5 Daylight Spectrum

Actinics

Hey I would glue it some where at the top 3/4 of ur tank with ur cube setup with Medium to heavy flow. This is a Mille that looks great in medium to very high lighting but in higher lighting especially mh (and low nutrient of coarse) it will start to turn an insane hot pink and produce a grn/turquoiseish base and polyps versus under a little lower lighting like T5's u get a great hot pink Mille with awesome polyp extension like the one in my picture. I am Sure u can achieve a "fully colored up" Mille under T5's with the right spectrum to throw off higher amounts of UVA and UVB rays and the right placement. I think it will look great anywhere u put it in that cube but u will get the best growth and color if u put it up higher and also I would trade out 3 of ur purple plus's and get 2 ATI True actinic (420nm and below) and one ATI Coral plus. Both bulbs look purple but will throw off spectrums u can't get with just blue plus's and purple plus's. All keep in mind this is all just my opinion from my experiences.

I picked mine up from Pro Corals a few months back. I absolutely love millepora and this one is by far the best looking pink one I've seen
