A Word of the Coral
TIA Salix Millepora truly lives up to its name. When fully extended, the long flowing polyps give the coral the appearance of a dense willow tree swaying in the current.
Among all the milleporas we have seen, this piece stands out for having some of the longest polyp extension we have encountered. The branches become surrounded by a soft curtain of movement, creating a lush and lively texture that makes this coral particularly mesmerizing in a reef tank.
