no problem Mike

one question, with Millepora's, do all of them have to flowing polyps
the reason i ask, with what i think is a mille, has never had the flowing polyps they are just like all the other acro polyps, even @ night when they are fully extended and all the mille's i have seen, from frags to colonies have the long flowing polyps
just wandering

I think they are all capable of long polyp extension. The key is to give them TONS of flow. One time I moved it, where it didn't get near as much flow and it lost the long polyp over the course of a few weeks, but put it back in the highest flow spot in my tank, and within a week the polyp extension was back.
 
Can I play too?
