Ultimate Frag's Insane Sunset Mili?

I had a nice sized colony of a Sunset Milli. When I could cut frags and let them heal for a while, they would turn this color. When they got larger they got more green, with orange/yellow under-tones.
 
The real deal UF insane sunset Mille is almost impossible to find.
 
I dont know maybe he can chime in here? I doubt its the original ultimatefrags one because that would demand a higher price but who knows?
 
Battle Corals and Rocky Mountain Frags both have colonies of the original Insane Sunset from Rommel.
 
Now I wouldn't just go calling any old milli the "insane sunset milli" now would I? ;)

yep I got mine straight from rommel about five years ago. Got it the same day as my jose rainbow in fact

It's not that orange but that was the pic was looking at when I bought it.

The orange is actually pretty tough to bring out but it's unbelievable when it does. This is one of the most vibrant sps I have ever seen though. Really really slow grower.

Dang that's insane man. Do you know of any special requirements or tricks to bringing out the orange? (I.e. lighting, flow, ULNS, etc?)
 
Totally agree with Adam. This Milli is "Insane" for sure. Super slow grower and a challenge to get the orange to come out. I think the key to bringing out the orange is having it in super high light and strong, turbulent flow.
Here's my piece in its full glory.

I've seen this one in person at a friends house, looks just like the RMF picture. Really super bright.
 
Word I got a frag from my boy James that bought a mili pack from battle Corals and I must say its bright as hell
 
Agree with Jared. Your's looks great man.

Super high light seemd to be the best recipe for orange. I have heard anecdotal stories about fiji purple helping out as well but cant say from my own experience.
 
Not UF lineage but I have one that looks very similar

When I first got it:

This is what it looks like a little grown up:

Looks exactly like my sunset mille...no lineage back to ultimate

Frag out of water...polyps retracted.
