I’m debating between ASD rainbow, sunset, and JF solar flare milleporas. Having a hard time finding tru comparisons between the 3. Does anyone have any combos of above under the same lighting so I can get a sense of what I would pick? Thanks!
 
I don't have pics but you can never go wrong with an ASD Rainbow Milli. And they're usually pretty cheap from local reefers.
 
I had a ASD "Rainbow" milli a few years back that was like a very nice sunset. I've bought another recently and it's like the pictures I saw and expected the first go around: orange boarding on pink with bright green polyps. Day or night it has the colors. So be very particular about seeing the mother colony in person if possible. If not, under multiple spectrums as I feel there are multiple ASD Rainbows out there.

I just saw your location; the reefer I got mine from has an amazing acro tank and is located in placentia. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to have his username. Very reasonably priced IMO.
 
I havent had both but I have seen them in different tanks, jf solar flare might actually be slightly brighter in the orange/pink coloration than the asd rainbow, at least from what i have seen. Not a very noticeable (only when right next to eachother can you even see it) and IMO not worth paying a lot more for the jf over the asd rainbow, just would depend on price for me which is why I only have the ASD rainbow at the moment
 
ASD Rainbow gets my vote. The colors hold even under white light.

Here is mine a month or so after I added it to the tank. I do not have a recent pic. The red/pink is much deeper now.

I was thinking the same thing the other day when I seen a post by him!

corey
Thanks! Didn’t know I was missed! Lol life got crazy and I was moving around and renting blah blah blah.. finally got settled back in and got my feet wet again..
 
Do a search there’s a thread with people that have colonies of both I saw the other day. They are a bit different when they’re grown out and doing well.
 
In my experience, the JF Solar Flare grows much faster and is easier to care for. I like the look of Aqua SD Rainbow Millipora better but it is more sensitive to changes.
 
RMF Acid Trip,ASD Rainbow, and JF Solar Flare are all very close.

Sunset is quite different, I have the nice strain that gets peachy, but just won't grow.

The BC Hellflower Milli has some of the same colors, but imo, is the most crazy orange acro I have ever seen.
