What are the five most valuable/sought after SPS these days? Not so much your personal list but what you feel the overall hobby would say.

I agree mostly with this list. I have 4 of them, well the 4th is the sexy corals orange passion but it's the same thing. The only one I might replace on that list is the pink Floyd. I feel like the Joe's rainbow acro is a nicer piece that usually sells instantly when listed which isn't too often.

This from pictures online and not of actual members tanks?

Then anything reef raft.

If we are talking about real coral pieces that are true to pics and not photoshopped?

I say Anything Tryee,ORA and Battlecorals

Tyree purple moster
Tyree Pink lemonade
Oregon Tort
PC Superman Table
Aqua SD Rainbow mill
Saphire Millie
Rouge Milli
Shades of fall


Any of these corals will easily blow away anything RR has to offer. If you want to judge "sought after" based on lies and deception, choose RR pieces.

What I want and what the hobby at large seeks are different so I was curious what you folks see the hobby wants. My personal list would have included red dragon and garf bonsi. Also interesting is Tyree Purple Monster, pink lemonaid and the Oregon Tort have been high coveted for years... I want to say almost 10 years. Closer to 10 than not

+1000......................that's a good list Jackson.

I'd maybe replace a few with or add---

-Dr. FosterSmith Pink Panther

-Yellow Caroliniana- name isn't important but I'm asked and see a lot of demand for it.

-Rainbow Loripes or Granulosa--- goes by about 7-8 different names

-Paletta Pink tip

-Vivids or Ultimates Rainbow acro......they are close enough that only one is needed.

These along with your list above are corals that people want or comment about when seeing the acros in person or in pictures.

RR is overrated, I agree with the other people in this thread. Also, you do realize that you are asking for an objective answer, for a completely subjective question, right?

When u say "RR" are u saying "rare reef" or "reef raft" cuz I wood have to agree if your saying "rare reef" junk..... "reef raft" is decent sometimes to my knowledge but having never ordered from reef raft I could be wrong... however I've seen the reef raft scroll monti I believe it's called on a live sale for like $500 I forget who was offering it. Then I saw it for my self in real life and the live sale piece was obviously seriously saturated! But it was not reef raft selling it... it was someone else claiming it was the reef raft piece.... those dirty birds... smh

LOL I know Reef Raft isn't struggling to sell corals. I know plenty of people that are "seeking after" their stuff (particularly signature pieces like those named above). ;) To each his own I guess...I like your list (obviously mine's a bit different). I especially like the ORA Pearlberry and Shades of Fall, but no way the $500 efflo would make the cut IMO.
