This was a coral that I didn't have high hopes for but has really turned into one of my favorites! Its one of those that even looks good far away from the tank...
Growth From 06/21/2018 to 12/10/2018 this also includes some decent Fragging along the way!

I have milli envy. :(

This incredible growth on Reefer40b's milli is fire on my coral covetous soul. Lord have mercy. :) (Nice piece!)
 
It’s incredible how much faster mini colonies grow out, than these once inch frags grow.
 
Me too. That dark pink contrasts nicely with the green in the polyps. The more light you give it the brighter it gets.

Oh are they tips more pink than green? Sorry I am kinda color blind with certain shades. Either way its pretty nice :) Where is it from?

Well it was about 1 1/2in when i got it that pic is just the oldest i could find at the moment. But yea when they hit about 3in is when they really start taking off.

Yes the tips are like deep pink purple with orange coralites going down the branches.
 
Some online retailer a while ago, just don't remember which one....

Shoot, I was hoping you knew which region it was from. It reminds me of a milli a guy in richmond used to sell that came in with almost black tips but no one ever really got the original color to show back up. Your lucky to get such a nice milli from a green frag. I get tired of seeing the typical sunset variants which this seems different than, and tired of seeing them labeled as rainbows :)

Yup its not your everyday sunrise milli. Yes your last statement is true, theres too many non rainbows being called rainbows.

A "Rainbow" is any coral that has a minimum of at least 1 color.

The good news is RIP "rainbow" named corals. 2007-2016. May it never return.
 
I know this kinda hinders my growth thread but I had cut back this coral some as it was running into my hawkins and fox flame... But here is the after math can you even notice lol.. Dec 31st Pic
