Blue Millipora (Acropora millipora), about 3 weeks in display tank.
Picture taken November 2006, Nikon D70 Digital SLR, Sigma 105mm Macro Lens

This small colony of Acropora millipora was given to me by a fellow hobbyist Dan Connor.

Due to space limitations I placed this coral in the lower 3rd of the display about 6 to 8 inches from the sand bed.


Blue Millipora (Acropora millipora),3 months later.
Picture taken February 2007, Nikon D70 Digital SLR, Sigma 105mm Macro Lens

Despite being in the lower 3rd of the tank this coral is still showing decent color and very good growth rates. This image shows the difference with 3 months growth.

UPDATE: This coral became overgrown by a large Montipora during the spring of 2008.
