Dragon Scale Acro

[xcorallusx]

I recently bought some corals off a reefer who had neglected his tank and let hair algae take over. I have never seen so much algae. The corals that survived were large colonies that could rise above the outbreak. My favorite piece is called Dragon Scale milli. It is neon green and looks like it has scales/reptilian. Does anyone else have a piece? I have never seen anything like it and will try and take some pictures tomorrow.

There was also a large blue milli colony that still has a nice blue color but I cant really see polyps, just the skeleton. Do you think it still has a chance if its still holding that blue color? I could see some small white polyps barely out on some parts. It has only been in my tank a day, I guess tomorrow will tell if its going to make it.

Sounds like that reptiod acro wet thumb released... I had one it came with aefw and didn't make it through aggressive dipping..

dragon scale

It doesnt look like the ones wet thumb released, Sorry I dont have a nice camera. It looked crazy when the polyps were retracted, looked like it had scales. Its a fluorescent green/yellow.

The blue milli colony is still holding the blue color, no RTN and I am seeing some white polyps emerge

Thats a hydronophora keep it away from anything it will kill them in a hurry!!! Very powerful sting... That's Lps iirc..

Its definately not a hydnophora, I have that near the bottom of my tank. This is an acropora millepora.

Guess I need a better picture I'm looking from my little screen on my phone so that makes it even harder... Looking at the top picture and the polyps missing around the bottom it almost looks like a leather..:tongue: hmm I don't really see Millie there besides the fuzz.. Can you snap a couple more pictures???

 

[xcorallusx]

Sorry my cell phone pictures arent the best quality. Ill try and get a better picture, the corals are still getting settled, this one and the red planet seem to be doing the best.

No problem I'm really curoius what it is sounds cool!!!! Maybe hold it up to the glass and take a picture with the polyps retracted for a better id.... I love fuzzy acros can't wait to see it more..1smile1

Thanks I am going to move my rock and corals next weekend, ill try and get some pictures during that

I have one Millie that's super fuzzy like that same color also but it don't have a name... Mine has a real long thin branch not fat stubby ones like yours can't wait to see more of yours...1smile1

haha maybe they are the same? It could be he was just trying to hype it but he said it was really rare and not a lot of people have them... Im excited to see it when its happy. My friend has an underwater camera that takes videos, I need to borrow it.

Millies are always on top of my list man they were my favorite until I got a Hawkins the other day.. Having a trio of enchinatas changed my heart lol... Looking forward to the pics... I'll get a picture of mine tomorrow if I can..
