Millepora, easy or hard?
I really really love millis especially their stringy polyps but I got one before and it just died. I wanna try again but I'm scared. Are they harder to keep than other sps like birdnest and montis? I have Ora green birdnest that is growing like crazy, rainbow monti, sunset monti, pocci, digi, bunch of other birdnests all doing well. Not sure why I can't keep millepora are there any special requirements thanks

I'd say pretty easy, no tougher than any other acropora.

I would say Milles aren't as easy as Birdnests or Montis, but taking SPS as a whole, Milles aren't even close to be a challenging genus. It's a good next step considering the SPS you listed success with. It could be that you simply picked a poor specimen for your first try with Mille.

I agree with these guys. Im not sure what millepora you tried but I would recommend trying a frag from one that is already flourishing in captivity for a long time.

They are not that hard to keep but given that corals love to hug u :). Look up sting remedy as millepora are fire corals

The coral the OP is talking about is Millepora Acropora

Your link is millepora dichotoma , which is completely different
