    A Millepora sp. Vs A Prostrata

    Between these two species, there are few points of similarity and differences.

    Here are some points what I could observe with my little knowledge.

    - Similarity

    1. Hairy polyps extension

    2. Axial corallites are tubular in shapes

    3. Radial corallites are compact and they have prominent lower lips giving a scale-like appearance.

    - Dissimilarity

    1. Millepora tend to grow short & uniform branches . ( Stubby like Thumb ) :Lol

    2. Prostrata grow thin elongate branches. ( Finger-like growth)

    3. Millepora have more of rounded corallite scales which are connected at the edge. ( Not I observed ) ;)

    4. Prostrata have disconnected edges of corallite scales. ( Also not I observed ) :D

    Hope, my observation with lit knowledge can be acceptable.

    Thanks for reading.

    What I realized is ORA Red Planet is A. hyacintus sp. and also FC red planet is A. Millepora sp.

    Bcuz I had both of these frags last time.

    Different designers cultured different species.

    That is the reason, I was learning & sharing about species name of designer sps in this thread .

    Again, I would like to request to share your valuable experiences in here.

    Thanks.

    To me, A Valida sp. & A Nana sp. has very similar looks.

    Unless I'm able see the mother colony of frags.

    Even radial corallite are quite similar to me in person.

    I tried to download some photos to compare yourself.

    And don't forget to put your feedback.

    Thanks. :)

    A Valida sp.
