Acropora recommendation?

.Haliax. · Feb 4, 2024

Can you guys recommend an acro that is preferably fluorescent - something that really stands out from across the room? I have a mixed reef, and I need something to balance out a Bali Green Slimer on the opposite end of the tank. Maybe something that's not fluorescent green like the green slimer.

JF Solar flare/ASD rainbow can be very bright orange.
JF Fox Flame has nice bright yellow tips.
BC Mr. Neutron is a super bright yellow.

Another option is Montipora Setosa. Or one of the orange Digitatas.

From across the room the two that stand out the most in my 460 DT are probably RMF Acid Trip (or ASD Rainbow as they are very similar if not the same) which is bright orange, and CB Maleficent which is bright red. Here's an FTS. The Maleficent is in the upper middle and the Acid Trip is on the right end.

RMF Acid Trip - quick cell phone pic I just took so sorry about the quality :)

That acid trip looks amazing!
Is JF Solar flare different then? I was under the impression that ASD rainbow and Solar flare were the same.
I only have Solar Flare and it is nowhere near colony size.

All three are all very similar if not the same. We had Solar Flare but lost it, and haven't replaced it because it is so similar to the other two. Honestly if you have one of them I wouldn't get either of the others...
