Hard to tell what color it will turn into.
When Millis a starved and most maricultured are, you be surprised what the final color will be.
I had maricultered Millis that turned into awesome rainbow Millis.
Make sure you cut the base off as many pest can house in there.

Actually a prostrata and not a millepora, but same advice applies.
I always thought acropora prostrata had "pointy-er" looking branches that were a little thinner, with sharper radial coralites that almost come to a point and grows more like a staghorn. Like a skinny staghorn milli.
It's tough to definitively id an acro from a pic though, maybe milli maybe prostrata it's hard to tell.
What queues you off to prostrata?

You've got to look only at the tips (axial corallites).
Blunt = prostrata
Pointy (elongated axial) = millepora
Blunt = prostrata
Pointy (elongated axial) = millepora
But all of the photos by Veron look to have blunt tips

Some of those are actually spathulata; notice the taxomic note:
Taxonomic note: This species is divisible into several smaller semi-distinct taxonomic units. Source reference: Veron (2000). Taxonomic references: Veron and Wallace (1984), Wallace (1999, and as A. spathulata Brook, 1891, in part). Additional identification guides: Veron (1986), Nishihira and Veron (1995).

But all of them have blunt tips, the spathys are easy to recognize.
Anyway, this milli in particular (from that link) is really nice and i'd love to have it in my tank.
