Guys, I have a couple of millepora's and having just looked at Tims pics the green one I have is nothing like the pic - the tips are - or more to the point - have gradually been getting white - im concerned because they are not overly high in the tank so it cant be bleaching - im wondering if this is part of the caulerpa problem that i have suspected ? Or is it just growth ?

i may be wrong mike but it looks like growth to me

[Mike]

Thats what I though Ben but I am concerned about the lack of polyps on these white areas, some have them some dont. Its possible that they extend at night and I dont see them of course.

Healthy looking coral Mike just how my green millipora is growing ... nowt to worry about
My red milli grows the same aswell but the yellow one doesnt, as it grows the polyps slowing catch the growth up if you know what i mean.

That's nothing to worry about Mike, mine grows like that.

Cool - cheers guys, was a little concerned being an SPS newbie so to speak - these are my first SPS so obviously cautious. Have 6 in total now (red/green plating monti, 2 x Acropora Sp, 2 x Acropora Millepora and a Pavona maldevensis). Good to know they are growing - thats very encouraging and shows they must be happy

If you lived nearer to Jason's you would have about 60 by now.

More than likely judging by the photos I see - I would be like a kiddy in a sweet shop
