Hi guys,we were holding two Millepora,fire coral frags for a friend for a few days that put down a small encrusting on the rack ,i did not mind as i like the fire corals colour and shape,cool coral imo.
Below are some pics of it now,i will add more as it grows all being well.

Lindsay - fire coral is not a millepora - be careful not to make contact with that strand of fire coral - it bears the name for a reason.

Nice pics and coverage
