Where have the wild cultured Millis gone?

It seems like I don't ever see the super nice wild cultured ones anymore. Is it just me? If not, where can I get one?

Most corals are now aquacultured. Wild and maricultured are out of style due to pests and hitchhikers.

The collection of tiny sticks that only look pretty under blue LEDs, turn of the hobby, is hard on an old timer like me.

Old looking browned out tanks under white MH are a turn off for me.

I think they are out there but sold with names no matter where they come from

for maricultured milleporas, check out the sponsor forums for Living Reef Orlando and Aqua SD.

Most Corals go through the chop process, to make them seem aquacutured with less pests. IMO they’re not out of style, it’s just all of the nice pieces get cherry picked by those who chop them up.

They are plenty available. So are wild ones. They are not as popular to most shops since they don't do very well under LED and can struggle and die more than other kinds. If you ask your shop, then can get them for you. You can also get them online.

The deep waters went this route a few years ago.
