Warning: These pieces may be coral-zero for you if you and not an acro junkie.
 
Watch out, there are some really awesome new sps available at RW this week.

If you are not already a major acro junkie then be for warned that these pieces may send your life into a downward spiral, filled with syringes for dosing additives, waiting in front of your LFS until they open to get your fix of the latest and greatest sps and meeting in dark, poorly lit alleys at all times of the night to swap frags with other hopelessly addicted individuals....

Thats one of our Rainbow montipora, and a pretty nice one IMO.
Pretty awesome colours!
Millipora are a great piece for people looking to get into SPS.
They are super easy to care for and the polyp extension gets very long a bit after import so they are "fuzzy" and move in the flow.
This particular color variation is not the easiest, i would recomend starting with a nice pink one like the RW Sun God which is pink with yellow tips

Would you say this is the same one? Sorry, not the best pic. But when the polyps are not fully out, the tips are all turquoise blue, and deep pink stems.

The patterns on the skin looks different to me (CC's has dots while your's has lines). Is that possible that same smooth skin acro can have unique patterns (kinda like finger print :P)?

Yes, I noticed that too, but not sure if that is a distinguishing difference or if one coral can have either.

Looks like a dense growth pattern on a vermiculata to me. This is definitely a shallow water sps where as the Needle in a Haystack is a Deep Water SPS.

I have looked at those on the web, but I don't see the resemblance. It is really not that dense, maybe the pic angle makes it look that way. Some day I will try to take a top down pic.

Anyways, thanks for looking.

Thanks for the info; I have one stick (also fuzzy) a little pocillopora and I think it's kinda neat.

However I live in the woods... Corals are hard to come by... hehe
