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 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.

Hmmm the frag I got was pretty healthy I'm pretty sure polyps were out, I actually tried twice once long time ago and one more recently both times they sort of just started losing flesh, not bleach or anything but the flesh just started disappearing until the whole thing was dead.
 got other sps frags the same time too and those ones are still flourishing.Hmm maybe ill try again hopefully it was just bad luck sounds like its not a pretty tough coral to keep. Thanks all
