Rainbow splice Millepora growth log

[SamsReef]

I got this as a swap from Kenny(POTO). Gorgeous but size of a pencil eraser…this one is super bright and enjoys prime spot.

this is when I got it (2/28/2022)

It sat for over a month doing nothing. Finally it has a growth spot.
This is today (4/3/2022)

I will post every month…

It’s THE rainbow splice Mille. Expensive or not, it is super bright. Even the greens on it is more fluorescent than usual green Mille.

I saw a colony here. I can prob grow a frag and start distributing it locally for cheap but the initial price was pretty high. I think it was $425

Yeah. I was concerned whether the pinks would grow as the colony progresses but so far it has been pretty balanced. I am not touching it till it grows into a nice colony

During NY RAP, one of the vendors had quite a few nice pieces with mixed colors(as opposed to just greens). Don’t remember the name of the vendor though.

That’s all Milles. they like to encrust before growing up. Make sure the base for encrusting is small so it encourages vertical growth.

Another two weeks checkpoint. I need to do a better job of taking from the same angle.

That is great looking piece. I was at rapny and I could only find people selling just green. This is def on my bucket list of corals in the near future. Thanks for the progress shots looks great
