Yeah, I think it was sold by the correct ID.Here’s the picture, The iconic Millepora hairs are always out. Feeding, growing, encrusting on the live rock. The colors in the photo are very close to reality. Orange and green. Expecting new branches in the near future. This coral was sold as a Mille Acro. Any help i.d.ing this coral would be appreciated. Thanks.
Millepora is an easy one to identify. Especially when it's one of your favorites.
In my opinion, that’s not how it works. If there is no lineage to the original colony, then it’s either no-name or fake of the designer name. I understand they all come from the ocean, and they could’ve come from the same colony in the ocean as the original designer named coral, but there is no lineage.
My opinion: Lineage is a “signature” by a popular vendor meant to act as a way to keep pricing in a desired range. It may or may not include the same strain of coral. Until vendors can trademark coral, they cannot control who uses their marketing names. I think the name game for money sake is silly, but it helps us envision a specific coral when talking about it.
Maybe. Unless he tries to sell it under the name of an acro which has been aquacultured for years.
