Hello reef2reef members! Saturday I am picking up what is supposed to be a rainbow millepora! This is my first time trying this coral as I am putting it under a kessil tuna blue a 160, in my cube build. I am getting it from a local guy off of Craigslist. Can you help me out by identifying that this is actually what I am buying. And or what I should be looking for or lookout for with this coral. Like I said this is my first time picking this kind of specimen up so I want to make sure it's going to be healthy.

To me it looks a little bit under colored, is there a way to bring back it's color quicker other than nutrients.
Sidenote, let's see your Millepora!

Good growth and polyp extension. Hard to tell the colors but my milleporas love more intense lighting so you can probably move it up more.

I will try and get better pics tonight! It’s got hot pink towards the most intense light, it’s got crazy PE.
