Best Milliporas for Reef Tank

Can someone suggest maybe which Milliporas are good for a SPs dominanted tank. As some have seen from my new setup most corals are Acros so something different would be nice.

Are you looking for color suggestions or specific "LE" type mille's?
You should be able to find some nice frags north of the border by now.
The wild colonies usually come in a table type colony and can be hard to get suffcient flow and light to all the spaces.
The really seem to appreciate flow and the polyps really extend and look furry in high flow areas.

Here is a small article on fire corals in the aquarium:

Not one I recomend for sps tanks as they can grow pretty fast. I also don't find them very attractive. I find the "lace" corals much more attractive.

I like those lace corals, havent seen much of them up here. Im looking for some colorful stuff. Flow and lights are not a problem, those Phoenix bulbs light every corner of the tank.Tunze streams@1600 pgh each really produce a nice flow thru the tank.
I think Ill stay away from the fire corals for now. LOL
