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

Were the frags well encrusted? I do find that Mille frags are a bit prone to RTN or STN when moved to a different tank if they aren't well encrusted.

one of my favorite corals, I found them very easy to keep, a lot easier than other types of acro. mind you I never had any corls RTN or what ever so maybe I was just lucky.

Easy coral with stable water, but usually the first to go RTN when something is off. Also the most likely to random RTN events. But I stress, it's fairly simple to keep them happy. Grows fast, colors easy and eats like a champ.
